Overview

Capsid mult is an open-source printed circuit board by fo-am, from the fo-am/viruscraft repository on GitHub, published under the AGPL-3.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board with 39 parts on 72 nets, routed with 641 tracks and 26 vias.

It is built around the 74HC4067D. Its parts include 19 resistors, 17 connectors and 3 diodes. It belongs with the interfaces and adapters boards of this library.

Viruscraft

In this project we ask - what determines the ability of a virus to infect some hosts but not others? Working with evolutionary biologist Ben Longdon, we're developing a citizen science project using visual programming, craft, tangible interfaces and games to explore virus host shifts – where a virus jumps from one host species to another.

https://fo.am/viruscraft/

todo

  • add host extinct/virus extinct to score record
  • add virus description to score record
  • increase death rate with susceptibility? highly specialised = quicker extinction

aims

Parameters

These are ones that can be tweaked & need to be checked:

host-susceptibility

Currently a probability curve between 0 (totally immune) and 1 (certain to get infection)

"returns the susceptibility of the host of infection to the supplied virus susceptibility will range from 0..1 with 0 being completely immune pow give us a slope so that 1 is always 1 but we reduce the likelyhood with fewer receptors - not science"

The point here is to make the successful strategy one of continual mutation. In order for this to work, we need to construct a tradeoff so that viruses with one or two of each type of ligands are not very good. Specialist viruses should generally be successful to infect.

Questions

What parts does the Capsid mult use?

39 parts, built around the 74HC4067D. 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 Capsid mult KiCad files?

From the fo-am/viruscraft repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/capsid-mult/capsid-mult.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Capsid mult design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the AGPL-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).
