The Basics of the Eddie Data Hub
The data collection solution designed for Scientists, by Scientists and Engineers.
Eddie Data Hub — Design Basics:
The Eddie Data Hub cuts the time, cost, and hassle of building new measurement setups on your lab bench or for a field application, so scientists can quickly collect and analyse sensor data.
Need a flexible, cost-effective, scalable, and easy-to-use data acquisition (DAQ) and control system? Choose the Eddie Data Hub and customise it for your measurement needs with the modules you choose.
The Eddie Data Hub is a ready-built, modular data acquisition (DAQ) and control system and it is flexible and can be easily customised for many different measurement applications.
The Eddie Data Hub can also easily be reconfigured for new measurement applications to meet your changing needs. This is a real cost saver in terms of reusing hardware and software, and its also a time saver for users who are already familiar with the existing measurement application for Eddie.
What's included with the Eddie Data Hub - Bored Owl’s Data Acquisition Solution that takes you from the lab to the field:
First, lets list what a data acquisition (DAQ) and control system needs for both lab benches and field use. These are also the common components your Eddie Data Hub can include:
Connect sensors to collect data and control them: Eddie Data Hub has standard Eddie probe modules which allow you to connect industry standard sensors. Eddie Data Hub can accept multiple digital and analog inputs and outputs.
Component power: Eddie Data Hub takes 24VDC and is internally powered. The connected Eddie probes use power from the Eddie Data hub and can supply power to many types of sensors directly.
Can store collected data: Eddie Data Hub has an SD card.
Send collected data to the cloud or your own remote server for offline use: Eddie Data Hub has multiple communications options available including wifi, lorawan, ethernet.
Need more of any of the above common components…just select more Eddie modules, or we can help with this. Then we can quote for the ultimate customised measurement solution for you.
Competitive Advantages of the Eddie Data Hub:
Eddie lets you quickly and easily collect reliable measurement data without hiring experts or buying costly lab gear that won’t survive field use. Eddie is cost-effective, and flexible giving you the power to unlock the benefits of data acquisition without the financial burden of traditional DAQ lab based systems.
Eddie is built for non-experts and includes all the hardware and software and communications you need for a complete data collection solution. With an Eddie Data Hub you can quickly connect sensors, start collecting, and access your data using a range of communications options. You don’t need programming skills or hardware expertise to use our Eddie Data Hub. Need help? Contact us — we’ll get you back to your work.
Australian based support by Bored Owl, the designers of the Eddie Data Hub!
Eddie is modular, so you can adapt it and reconfigure it for different measurement applications as your needs change. Add more digital or analog input or output cards, swap or add computer cards, or add probes to connect to more sensors and your Eddie Data Hub is upgraded with minimal cost, time, and effort. Let everyone know you’ve got this.
Bored Owl built the Eddie Data Hub to enable users and we keep improving it. We’re constantly adding computer cards, and probes, so the range of solutions for your needs keeps growing. Need something we haven’t got on our website yet, just contact us and we can configure an Eddie Data Hub to suit your needs.

Getting Technical:
Bored Owl’s Eddie Data Hub, in plain terms, is an embedded computer system. It lets you analyse data and control equipment right where the data is collected. That means you can quickly change how a process or machine runs based on real‑time data.
Eddie Data Hub makes it easy and fast to build an online data analysis and control system for your measurement application. Bring your sensors and tell us your measurement application and sensor needs; we’ll recommend the Eddie Data Hub and probe modules required.
Eddie is for non-experts. We made the hardware and firmware, so the interface is easy. Plug in sensors and use them without technical skills. You don’t need need programming skills or hardware expertise to use our Eddie Data Hub.
Eddie Modules to choose from:
Eddie-Micro Hub is Bored Owl’s smallest data hub which can connect to your sensors through Eddie Probes and which you can connect to your laptop or desktop through a usb port.
Multi-slot Eddie Hub Devices:
2-slot Eddie version can include: power supply input, CPU card, I/O card (eg serial card).
4-slot Eddie version can include: power supply card with ethernet port, CPU card, I/O card (eg serial card), digital I/O card, possible additional CPU cards.
Eddie also has probes, pods and peas to choose from.
Eddie probe, pod and pea modules help make sensor connections simple.
