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.
