Hobby Ultrasound Machine
This repository contains the PCB design files, FPGA firmware files, and host software for a hobby 8 channel ultrasound system. It can do phased array operation. Here's an example of the pulse in my forearm:
Picture of the functioning ultrasound system:
The parts of the ultrasound consist of: - The probe, which is a Acuvision 4V1c probe bought off ebay - As far as I can tell, it has 112 elements. I think a bunch of them are broken for this unit, so I've atttempted to work around as best as possible - The power board - This provides a variable voltage positive and negative rails for the…
