Camera Wiring Schematic#
The cameras recording video of the experiment from different positions are triggered at one of two different frame rates by pulses generated by the camera controller.
Connections#
A USB-3.0 Micro-B connector connects each camera to the behaviour machine. The camera receives power and one of two trigger signals through a 6-core GPIO cable with connections soldered or otherwise made (we recommend WAGO type connectors) from the PSU and breakout from the camera controller, to the shown pins.
12V power lines from the PSU are connected to pins 1 and 6.
The trigger signals from the breakout of the camera controller are connected to pins 2 and 5.
The camera itself is connected to USB-A connection on the behaviour machine from a USB 3.0 Micro-B USB port for frame acquisition.
