Overview
The Data Acquisition (DAQ) Box sits between the head mounted microscope and PC and mediates communication between the two. The DAQ box connects over super speed USB (USB3.0) to the PC and enumerates as a generic webcam using the USB Video Class (UVC) device protocol. This means that other open source or commercial webcam software should be able to control and stream data for the system. Below shows the default configuration of the DAQ hardware using the firmware provided on this wiki.
The PCB is roughly 3" x 2.25" and housed in a 3D printed box. The PCB is a 4 layer board with controlled impedance for the USB data lines.
Below is the schematic of the DAQ hardware.
