Helios : illumination system, synchronized with framegrabber. Consist of several PCB, the LED boards with an aluminium core, the LED driver to drive the first one , and the Master to dispatch power and connect to the CAN bus Arke: RS-232 board to interface with the can bus. libarke is used to specify the protocol between all boards Zeus: Climate control board that monitor environmental and perform the climate control loop. Celaeno : Nebulizer control board Anemoi : Generic Sensor board with different versions Prometheus: Electric Dispatch board for the FORT * Notus: Heater ofb the ant boxes.

Arke: common questions

What microcontroller does the Arke use?

The Arke is built around the ATMEGA16M1-AU, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the Arke PCB?

The Arke measures 72 × 36 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Arke?

44 components, from 29 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Arke design files?

From the formicidae-tracker/hardware repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Arke design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with formicidae-tracker. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Arke without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug AVR/Arduino firmware against it before you order a PCB.
