Harp Behavior

This is a multi-purpose device tailored to behavioral experiments. It allows control of pokes, RGB LEDs, LEDs, cameras, servo motors and a quadrature counter.

Key Features

• Enable pulse and configure duration for each output
• Support for PWM configuration (frequency up to 10KHz and duty cycle)
• LED current (up to 100mA) and maximum nominal current configuration
• Up to 2 cameras controlling (DO0 and DO1)
• Up to 2 servo motors (DO2 and DO3)
• Up to 1 quadrature counter (Port2) (Note: Port0 and Port1 can also act as quadrature counters but this is a request feature)

Connectivity

• 1x clock sync input (CLKIN) [stereo jack]
• 1x USB (for computer) [USB type B]
• 1x 12V supply [barrel connector jack]
• 3x poke connectors (LED+12V valve) (Poke0, Poke1, Poke2) [RJ45]
• 2x LEDs outputs (5V) (LED0, LED1) [screw terminal]
• 2x RGB LEDs outputs (5V) (RGB0, RGB1) [flick lock 3x male pins]
• 4x general purpose digital outputs with PWM (5V) (DO0-DO3) [screw terminal]
• 1x ADC (5V) [screw terminal]

Interface

The interface with the Harp Behavior can be done through Bonsai or a dedicated GUI (Graphical User Interface).

In order to use this GUI, there are some software that needs to be installed:

1 - Install the drivers.

2 - Install the runtime.

3 - Reboot the computer.

4 - Install the GUI.
