Open-JIP v0.2
This release utilises the same circuitry as used in a recent publication with Open-JIP configured as a flow-through fluorometer. There are a number of changes to the form and functions of Open-JIP that improve both its reliability and its accuracy.
Updates are as follows:
- Teensy microcontroller - for increased memory size (longer acquisitions) and increased speeds (more data points during the fast rise of chlorophyll fluorescence).
- Circuit board re-design - surface mounted (SMD) components and new amplifier/actinic circuitry.
- Integrated mirrors - to direct emitted photons to the detector.
- New 3D-printed case - no glue needed but can be added to improve robustness. Provides a steady platform upon which measurements can be taken.
- Improved documentation - should allow new users to feel comfortable creating the device from scratch.
