Hi! Thanks for dropping by. This project started during one of the summer courses organized by Trend in Africa. It developed to the current state due to the efforts of many people along the way. In special Tom Baden, Lucia Prieto, and Edwin Cruz. A paper describing the system was published in Plos Biology.

Version 1.0 was released with the paper and can be found here.

The system can be used for optical microscopy, fluorescence, behavioural tracking, optogenetics, calcium imaging and thermogenetics (see examples recorded with the system below).

Questions

How big is the Flypi PCB?

It measures 76.1 × 85 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Flypi use?

45 parts, built around the LM2596S-5.0 and L298N. 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 Flypi KiCad files?

From the amchagas/Flypi repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/flypi_pcb_kicad/flypi.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Flypi design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
