NeuroBytes Vestibular System

NeuroBytes are open-source hardware neuron simulators designed and sold by NeuroTinker, LLC. The Vestibular System boards emulate the portion of the inner ear responsible for orientation.

All NeuroBytes products are based on the ST32L0x series of ARM Cortex-M0+ 32-bit microcontrollers. The boards were designed in KiCad and Inkscape and are released under the terms of the GPL, v3.0.

This repository is a continuation of the 8-bit ATtiny design called NeuroBytes v0.91. The two series are not compatible.

Project Status

This project is in alpha. The firmware is in progress and the API may change at any time. The PCB design is physically tested but has not yet been manufactured at scale.

More Information

The NeuroBytes GitHub repositories store engineering information and make the design history of the project available to the public. Hardware- and firmware-specific README.md files can be found in their appropriate subdirectories.

We encourage community involvement in our efforts, keeping in mind that hardware availability is currently quite limited.

Questions

How big is the NeuroBytes Vestibular System PCB?

It measures 52.3 × 46.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the NeuroBytes Vestibular System use?

50 parts, built around the BNO055. 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 NeuroBytes Vestibular System KiCad files?

From the NeuroTinker/NeuroBytes_Vestibular_System repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is HARDWARE/NeuroBytes_Vestibular_System.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the NeuroBytes Vestibular System 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).
