This project covers the hardware development of version 4 of the White Rabbit switch (WRS-v4). More info at the Wiki page

The Macbeth (MAChine / BEamline Timing Hardware) system is aimed to synchronize the beamlines experimental devices (pump-probe, laser, …) with the accelerator beam with a high accuracy

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

Development of software for the White Rabbit switch, and in particular the embedded Linux system running in the ARM9 processor. More info at the Wiki page

Radiation-tolerant AC/DC power supply unit (PSU). In: 230VAC, 50Hz, Out: +12V, 8.33A (100W) and +5V, 2A (10W). Possibility for redundancy. The design is CompactPCI compatible. Part of DIOT project.

This open-source 3DMASK offers a FFP2-level protection with the right filter material. It can be produced by anybody in possession of a 3D printer. More info at the Wiki page.

ELMB2 is an analog/digital I/O module with CANbus interface. They are used in various CERN installations in control and monitoring of equipment. The ELMB2 is radiation qualified. More info at the Wiki page

We have designed an FPGA Mezzanine card (standard FMC/Vita 57) for high-channel-count electrophysiology, with 128 channels (potentially up to 512), based upon Intan Tech's RHA2132 (2 uV rms input-referred noise), sampled at 25kHz 18bit by AD7982. We are basing our design on the reference design provided by Reid Harrison of Intan Tech for their 16-channel evaluation board. The expected cost of the device should be under 5000$.

In order to have an integrated solution we intend to have as default carrier the Opal Kelly Shuttle LX1, an inexpensive USB FMC carrier with an excellent USB controller. The integrated solution will be completed with software on the PC side to grab to disk continuously and/or display in some fashion all 128 channels.

Our status: We have an alpha card. It has passed most tests---we can grab from any channel at 1MS/s. We have an alpha microcode: it grabs from any channel and stores on the PC.
