Cable buffer board
About the Cable buffer board
Cable buffer board is an open source PCB design by AllenNeuralDynamics, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 4-layer board measuring 24.5 × 9 mm, with 9 components from 7 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the LTC6269xMS8E. By type, the board carries 5 capacitors, 2 resistors, 1 IC and 1 connector.
From the project
0360: an ephys-compliant capacitive lick detector
An ephys-compliant lick detector based on measured change in capacitance.
These printed circuit boards are made on-demand.
You will also need: Pololu 6-Pin SH Cable, 25cm long Stainless Steel Lick Tube, 18 Gauge (any conductive lick tube will work!) 3D Printed Enclosure Walls and Laser Cut Lids right click the component to export each part.
Once you receive boards, you will need to upload the firmware from the latest release.
