Electronics / DAQ PCB - SMA connector for trigger

« on: June 30, 2017, 10:25:17 PM »

Hi,

I am trying to use a signal to trigger the miniscope as described in the wiki (http://miniscope.org/index.php?title=Data_Acquisition_Box) but I have the newer version of the DAQ PCB board and I am not sure which SMA is programmed to receive the input. (and I am scared to burn the PCB by plugging an input in an output SMA). You specified on the forum that the left 2 SMA connectors handle optional triggering and sync signals (http://miniscope.org/board/index.php?topic=352.0) but could you specify what are each of them (J3 and J5) are programmed to do?

Thanks a lot and happy 7/4 weekend !

Optics / Group order for achromatic doublet lenses!

« on: May 05, 2017, 08:24:49 PM »

Hi all,

I am a graduate student using miniscopes at NYU and I will need to order more achromatic lenses of different Focal Length.
Edmunds Optics offers discount for orders larger than 5 and then for orders larger than 25 (for lenses of the same focal length) so I was wondering if anyone would be interested in putting together a group order for these lenses. Edmunds is happy to split to cost over different institutions but will ship the order to only one location. It would then be possible for you to pick up the lenses in NYC or pay for a delivery that I would be happy to take care of.
The discount would be at least 20%.

Here is a sign-in sheet if you are interested

You can also send me an email at erl335@nyu.edu

Best,
