MiniDAQ

Simplified DAQ for Miniscopes and Minicams. This is effectively a smaller version of the standard Miniscope DAQ and does not include easily accessible trigger and sync connections but should support all other functionality of the Miniscope platform.

Questions

How big is the MiniDAQ PCB?

It measures 40 × 15 mm and has 6 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the MiniDAQ use?

162 parts, built around the NCP360SN, SC189CULTRT, SP3010-04UTG and BLM21PG221SN1D. 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 MiniDAQ KiCad files?

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

Can I use the MiniDAQ design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Aharoni-Lab before reusing the design.
