PyControl
pyControl is a system of open source hardware and software for controlling behavioral experiments, built around the Micropython microcontroller
Description
Using PyControl, your behavioral setup can be built in a flexible manner by combining devices such as nosepokes, audio boards and LED drivers to fit your needs. These devices are connected to a breakout board, which interfaces with a computer, where the pyControl GUI can be used to configure and run experiments and visualize behavior.
Features
Breakout board to interface computer with behavioral devices
6 ports for behavioural devices
4 BNC for e.g. synchronization
Indicator LEDs
Range of devices for behavioral experiments:
Nosepoke
Audio board
LED driver
Stepper motor
Rotary encoder
Control of behavioral setup and visualization via the GUI
Time-division multiplexed illumination to prevent crosstalk between fluorescence signals and bleed-through of ambient light, with online demultiplexing and visualisation
Streaming of acquired data to disk in a compact binary format

pyPhotometry is an open source system for fiber photometry data acquisition.
This first version includes:
2x Analog inputs for photometry signals. The system supports time-division multiplexed illumination which allows fluorescence evoked by different excitation wavelengths to be independently read out from a single photoreceiver signal.
2x Digital inputs for registering behavioral events or sync pulses
2x LED driver outputs, each with a 1-100mA adjustable output current. The LED driver outputs are M8 connectors compatible with Doric and Thorlabs LEDs.
For more information, see the documentation at https://pyphotometry.readthedocs.io/
Package includes:
1x pyPhotometry
This device requires additional components to operate. Please check the device connectivity list to purchase any cables, tethers and power supplies you might need. Please follow the documentation to pair the acquisition board with LEDs, photoreceivers, and optical components.
