Module: Cletus [](@description Piezo+Servo module)

Name

MDL-echomods_servopiezo

Title

Simply the servo and transducer module

Description

  • The servo/transducer part of the echOmods
  • version: V0.1
  • date: 29/04/2016
  • technology:
  • cost:80$
  • sourcing:Recycling a transducer from ebay, servo from anywhere (Amazon?)
  • language:
  • author: Kelu124

IOs

Inputs

  • ITF-A_gnd
  • ITF-B_5v
  • ITF-N_cc_motor_pwm
  • ITF-S_3_3v
  • ITF-mET_Transducer : for the signal coming out of the pulser (if through SMA)
  • ITF-mET_Piezo : connection to the piezo

Outputs

  • ITF-mET_Piezo : connection to the piezo
  • ITF-mET_Transducer : for the signal coming out of the pulser (if through SMA)

Key Components

  • Servo
  • Piezo

Information

What is it supposed to do?

The aim of this module is to interface the transducer and the servo, aka the physical parts, to the analog part of the modules chain. More to come with the Loftus head.

How does it work: block diagram

Block schema

  • ITF-mET_Piezo->Piezo->ITF-mET_Piezo
  • ITF-N_cc_motor_pwm->Servo
  • ITF-B_5v->Servo

About the module

Discussion

Suppliers ?

A list of suppliers and some details is available here.

Choice of the servo

Pros

  • Simple to use

Cons

  • Slow sweeping

Constraint and limits

  • Need to find a servo which frequency is above 100hz (100hz -> 10ms period -> 1 line per 10ms is quite close)

Removing the noise?

Discussions

TODO

  • Remove the jitter (see image in Rdme)
  • Include notes

DONE

  • Get a 3.5MHz piezo
