FMC mezzanine board that connects to an Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGA ML605 evaluation board that allows transmitting through 12-channel MPO optical devices a set of 72 links aimed for low-speed (general I/O from the Virtex 6, up to 480 Mbps) and 8 links for high-speed multigigabit transmitters of the Virtex 6 (up to 1600 Mbps). This boards is used for testing other devices. More info at the Wiki page

A VME rear transition module providing 24 Dry Contact Inputs. Dry contact switch connecting 24V to ground (limited to 20mA). Uses the SVEC as front-module. More info at the Wiki page CANCELLED PROJECT
Updated -
This library provides a generic API for ADC devices, so that applications can use this API to access any of the supported ADC boards. Currently the library supports the following boards:
fmc-adc-100m14b14chaFor testing and debugging purpose it supports also a couple of virtual boards that you can use to start the development of your application.

Couples a MAROC ASIC (64 channels each with a fixed threshold discriminator and a slow shaper + sample-and-hold + 12-bit ADC) to a FPGA. Read-out by Gigabit Ethernet (firmware supplied supports IPBus). Multiple boards can be plugged together to increase the channel count. Clocking circuitry compatible with the White Rabbit implementation of PTP. More info at the Wiki page

Cosmic Pi - a low cost distributed cosmic ray detector, based on Raspberry Pi. It makes the detection and analysis of cosmic rays accessible to students, educators and ordinary people. It uses a specially designed detector combined with the low cost hardware of the Raspberry Pi computer for data storage and online analysis. More info at the Wiki page
If you're looking for the V1 prototype schematics and PCB layouts you can find them here Our more recent hardware (V1.5 and V2) plus all code is stored on github and can be found here To learn about the project, have a look at our blog
You can also follow us on Facebook.
The project hardware is currently being developed in EagleCAD but we'll be moving to KiCAD fairly soon.

The Multigap RPC is a high precision timing and tracking detector with an active area of 25.6cm x 18.2cm and readout with 24 strips. Charged particles ionise gas in gaps between glass plates in a stack. A large electric field causes small avalanches of ionisation in each gap. The moving charges are picked up on readout strips and the timing of the charge deposition is to be read out on each side of each strip. The differential timing of the ionisation reveals the position along the strip and the precise arrival time of the particle. Multiple MRPCs can be used to measure particle time of flight (ToF). This design is based on the ALICE ToF detector and was built for the Beamline for Schools project. More info at the Wiki page

Radiation tolerant projects. Projects specifically designed for radiation tolerance will be sub-projects of this umbrella project.
Updated -
WR-HSR is a research project to implement the High-availability Seamless Redundancy (HSR) protocol on White Rabbit switches and dual-port end nodes. The implementation is not part of the roadmap of the White Rabbit project.
Updated -
Control of instrumentation over a White Rabbit network. Define and implement a standardized communication protocol for instrumentation over a White Rabbit network (precise synchronization and timestamping; remote control and test sequence programming; message exchanging and event distribution).
Updated -
Power supply unit for emergency luminaires that may need to be used in areas with radiation. The power supply consists of a transformer, a diode bridge, capacitors and an optional voltage stabilisation device. It converts a 207V to 253V 50Hz AC to a stable DC voltage and current, as required by the LED load. Due to design constraints this is best for loads under 7-8W. More info at the Wiki page

FMC WorldFIP is an interface card for the WorldFIP network in an LPC FMC form-factor. The hardware is described in the FMC WorldFIP project.
Updated -
Mock Turtle is an HDL core of a generic control system node, based on a deterministic multicore CPU architecture. Mock Turtle can use White Rabbit as the means of communication and synchronization in a distributed system. More info at the Wiki page

GNU General Public License v3.0 onlyMMC firmware written in C, running on a microcontroller inside the board. Written first for the AFC boards. This firmware is thought to be generic enough so other AMC boards could reuse a large part of it. For now, the only "port" is for the LPC1764 chip, but more are planned.

A low cost, low complexity FMC carrier based on Xilinx Artix-7
Updated -
The Dual AMC carrier enables stand-alone operation of an AMC FMC carrier or any other AMC board. It has 4 SFP connectors, 2 QSFP cages, 8 trigger I/O routed to the MLVDS ports and power entry. Two versions, allowing the use of a RTM or not. More info at the Wiki page
