Bpod/Neuralynx sync board
The Neuralynx sync board allows behavior and events logged by Bpod v0.5 to be sent to a Neuralynx electrophysiology system.
Note: Bpod state machine 0.7+ Does not require the sync board.
It's very simple to build. Here's how.
1: Order all parts in the Bill of Materials.
- These parts can be purchased from commercial suppliers except for the printed circuit board.
We have previously used SeeedStudio's FusionPCB service as follows:
i. Select QTY: 10
PCB Layer: 2
PCB Thickness: 1.6mm
PCB Dimension: 5cm max X 5cm max
PCB Color: green
Surface Finish: HASL
This should work out to ~$2.39 per board for an order of 10 boards (Jan 2014). Select "Next".
ii. Select C:\Bpod\CAD\PCB\NeuralynxSync\BpodNlxSync.zip and finish the order.
2: Gather tools. You'll need:
- A clean soldering iron and sponge
- Solder
3. Follow the assembly instructions.
