About the HybridImager V1 Weiqi Sparse Sensor Board

HybridImager V1 Weiqi Sparse Sensor Board is an open source PCB design by lachlanchen, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 105 × 90 mm, with 50 components from 28 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the TIA_PLACEHOLDER and TIMESTAMP_MCU_FPGA_PLACEHOLDER. By type, the board carries 21 test points, 4 ICs and 4 connectors.

It belongs with the sensors, test & measurement and science & space designs in this gallery.

From the project

HybridImager: open hybrid single-pixel, event, frame, and spectral scientific imaging research workspace

This is the first board-level HybridImager sensor draft. It deliberately uses a sparse multi-site single-pixel detector array instead of one central bucket only. The geometry follows a Weiqi-like 7x7 conceptual grid with 21 populated detector sites.

- Validate detector spacing and sparse reconstruction geometry. - Provide per-site signal pads for external TIA/comparator experiments. - Reserve board area for three TIA banks, one timestamp MCU/FPGA, sync SMA connectors, power/sync header, and a 2x20 expansion header. - Keep V1 buildable and inspectable before committing to dense custom sensor…
