General Discussion / Combined Miniscope

« on: June 20, 2017, 12:21:07 PM »

Hi Everyone,
I am wondering if someone here has combined any components of miniscope with Inscopix ones. is it possible? Can the software of Inscopix be used with this miniscope? Can the camera of miniscope  be used with Inscopix Board Controller?
Please let me know if someone has done it before.
Thank you,
Matteo

DAQ Software/Firmware / Re: Miniscope Device Manager

HI Daniel,
We would like to buy a new DAQ-PCB to be sure that our works properly and eventually resolve our problem and understand if this is caused by software or hardware.
Also can you send us or exchange with us one that works (and we can send our to you so you can see it)? So we can test at least our miniscopes.
If someone also has an extra DAQ-PCB that works and he doesn't use (one left over), please contact me
Thank you,
Matteo

Hi Daniel,
As I understand, when I programm the EEPROM the first time it shows up in Device Manager as MINISCOPE, but as I disconnect it, the MINISCOPE doesn't appear in IMAGING DEVICE anymore. My DAQ PCB is a v2.01, I have put the pins in K1, K2,K3 and TP1 and TP3. Th jumpers only in K1 and K2 (as USB), K2 as EEPROM. I have also putted the pins in J9 (?): 3 pins with jumper in the center and right side.
These are all the pins and jumper that I have soldered. Is everything correct?
Thank you,
Matteo

Dear Daniel,
As I have reported before the Miniscope doesn't show up any more in Device Manager.
yes, As I connect everything I have a REd Light in the CMOS of the Miniscope and 2 green lights in the DAQ PCB
I have attached the picture in the pdf file here.
Thank you,
Matteo

Hi Daniel,
Here is the link of the coax cable:

https://www.digikey.com/products/en?keywords=897611670

It looks like the same cable that you have used in the videos of Youtube in the website.
Is it correct?
So far there is no impedance reported. it is 50?
Thank you,
Matteo

In the website you have written:
"Connect a USB3.0 cable between the DAQ PCB and computer being careful not to apply too much force or torque on the USB connector. Make sure to use a short (under 3ft to 5ft) USB3.0 cable.
Make sure the bottom 2 LEDs turn on."

But in the forum everyone report that 3 LED should be turn on!
Why? Did I miss anything?
Thank you,
Matteo

The LED ( this from the beginning, from the moment I have assembled the DAQ-PCB) turn on are only 2.the LED U12 is turn off.
What does it mean?
Sincerely,

Hi Daniel:
New problem, I have connected one more time the DAQ-PCB and the MINISCOPE in Imaging Device doesn't show up!
Looks like I have the same problem.
What could be?
Thank you,

Hi Daniel,
thank you for your answer..I have attached the screenshot as you can see.
The Software writes that The Miniscope must be connected.
What could be?
The window of the video is grey.
Thank you,

Hi Daniel,
I fix the problem. For some reason the EEPROM doesn't work properly, so I have desoldered it and I have put a new one!
Now I think I have a common problem...
I attached a screenshot!
Thank you
Sincerely,
Matteo

Hi Daniel,
thank you that you replied me. Tomorrow I will try it with Mac. Here is the pics of our DAQ-PCB. We have only this so far.

Good morning to everybody,
I have a still problem installing the miniscope.
Here I have attached the a word file with all the screenshots of what I did during the installation.
If someone can find any mistake or can help it would be great!
Thank you so much,

DAQ Software/Firmware / Miniscope Device Manager

« on: May 30, 2017, 01:44:27 PM »

Good morning,

I have a problem installing the miniscope.

I built the miniscope and I started following the prcedure on http://miniscope.org/index.php?title=Software_and_Firmware_Setup

1) I set the jumper modality BOOT FROM USB,
2) I installed the driver for the miniscope,
3) I uploaded the firmware msDAQ_Firmware.img through the Cypress application

The problem appeared as soon as I power cycled the miniscope.

Windows does not show anymore any Miniscope in the Device Manager (now it doesn't even show the Westbridge device it used to show before installing the driver).
Miniscope should be appear ad Imaging Device, instead I can see only the driver of miniscope.

Is there a step I miss? Is it possible to solve this problem. I need to go on with the work.

Thank you,
Matteo
