Overview

Kicad LFOV RigidFlex Assembly is an open-source printed circuit board by Aharoni-Lab, from the Aharoni-Lab/Miniscope-LFOV repository on GitHub, published under the GPL-3.0 licence. It is a 6-layer board of 33.7 × 56.9 mm with 108 parts on 74 nets, routed with 982 tracks and 159 vias.

It is built around the MAX14574EWL+, MT9P031I12STM-DP and BNO055, with the DS90UB913ATRTVTQ1, TPL0102-100RUCR and GRM033R61A104ME15D among its other parts. Its parts include 55 capacitors, 24 resistors, 10 ICs, 5 inductors and 4 diodes.

Large field-of-view miniature microscope for rats and larger animals.

All information, guides, and tutorials can be found on the Miniscope-LFOV Wiki Page.

Make sure to click Watch and Star in the upper right corner of this page to get updates on new features and releases.

The Miniscope_LFOV is designed to extend the capabilities of the UCLA Miniscope for head-fixed imaging in mice, and head-free imaging to larger rodents and non-human primates. This system is capable of multiple imaging configurations, including deep brain imaging using implanted optical probes and cortical imaging through cranial windows. Some feature highlights are listed below.

  • 3.6 X 2.7 mm field of view
  • ~3 µm resolution
  • 3.5 mm working distance
  • +/-150um electronic focal adjustment
  • Modular optics
  • Achromatic optics
  • 13.9 grams
  • 30 mm tall
  • Absolute head orientation sensor
  • Requires ~1/2th the excitation power of previous systems
  • No more soldering!
  • Still uses only a single coaxial cable (down to 0.3mm in diameter) for power, communication, and data.
  • New DAQ software

How to use with the Miniscope DAQ Software

The MiniLFOV needs an updated videoDevices.json file which holds the configuration data for different modes the MiniLFOV is able to run in. This file can be found in the Miniscope_DAQ_Software_Configurations folder in this repository and should replace the same named fiel in the deviceConfig folder of the Miniscope Software.

We have also included an example user configuration file that will run the MiniLFOV in its 2x binning and summing mode.

Questions

How big is the Kicad LFOV RigidFlex Assembly PCB?

It measures 33.7 × 56.9 mm and has 6 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Kicad LFOV RigidFlex Assembly use?

108 parts, built around the MAX14574EWL+, MT9P031I12STM-DP, BNO055 and DS90UB913ATRTVTQ1. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Kicad LFOV RigidFlex Assembly KiCad files?

From the Aharoni-Lab/Miniscope-LFOV repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCad_MiniLFOV/Kicad_LFOV_RigidFlex_Assembly.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Kicad LFOV RigidFlex Assembly design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
