From the project
KiCad design and documentation for a passive interface board between three FLIR Blackfly S cameras, a pyControl breakout and a Neuropixels OneBox: screw-terminal camera connectors, BNC inputs and outputs, a 50-pin instrument port, USB power.
Interface board for the three FLIR Blackfly S cameras in the Janelia Dudman lab joystick rig: pluggable screw-terminal camera connectors, two BNC inputs from the pyControl breakout, four 3.3 V BNC outputs to a Neuropixels OneBox, an InstrumentPort-Digital-50 with every camera line tapped, and USB power. No MCU, no firmware, no configuration jumpers.
Status, October 2026: v1.0 is the fabricated revision. Five assembled boards were ordered from JLCPCB on 2026-09-26 (fabrication log), and one is installed in the rig, wired to the three cameras, the pyControl breakout and the OneBox. Bench…
