State Machine 2.5
Bpod Finite State Machine r2.5 is a significant hardware revision of r2.4.
r2.5 upgrades the Teensy 3.6 microcontroller to Teensy 4.1. Improvements relevant to Bpod are:
Significantly faster processing (600MHz, up from 180MHz)
Significantly more SRAM memory (1MB, up from 256KB)
Significantly faster USB data transfer (480Mbit/s, up from 12Mbit/s)
r2.5 has a dual footprint for the 5V->9V DC/DC converters (required for each module port), allowing the board to be populated with either Murata MTU1S0509MC or Murata MEE1S0509SC. This increases robustness against supply chain interruptions.
Due to the change in microcontroller pinout, r2.5 must be run with State Machine Firmware v23 or newer.
