Hi..folks..,


For a generic hobbyist,
Could you people suggest any FOSS kit for the most of the signal
processing stuff(" more emphasis on thr Image stuff"), if it is GUI enabled
then, I'm the luckiest person on the Earth(at least for today).


Platform: windows; if not, Linux flavor too is okay.


thanks for the patience
have a nice day Smile

Any particular reason why you want a HW kit?

You only need a suitable software program to play with
DSP routines and methods. The HW kits only become important
if you need (or want) to port something to HW.

If you just want to play with ideas, a free matlab clone
like octave or scilab might be sufficient.

not very serious,
but I need an all-in-one kit for all my
"do it your self activities" {all on my PC}

I'm not good at programming, so I don't have the job of
"porting" anything to that pretty microcontrollers.

All the tests would be on my personal PC.

Are they GUI enabled + F/OSS ?

Before you know what you want, get a book, pencil and paper.

To start with - Just *WHAT* is "FOSS"?

I did Google, did I come up with right answer?

If so, what are your goals?

With reference to Rune's response:
why hardware?
if software, what are you looking for from a GUI?

Humph. Thanks for the pointer. I missed the fork and wasn't aware that
the INRIA group was working on a parallel development effort now.

Subscribe to comp.soft-sys.math.scilab, and you'll see a lot of scicoslab
posts, which is where I found out.

Trying to get the Scilab team to see that doing beta testing, and not
releasing products with broken features (like the debugger and Scicos,
for crying out loud!) is like trying to explain to a skeptical blind man
that he needs someone to check the color of his paint.
