The EchoModules worklogs [](@description Full worklog of the modules)

Next steps from Murgen

  1. Playing with the design and fab the modules: 3 to go in CMS (HV/TGC/MD, enveloppe detection, SPI ADC) and 2 in stripboard mode (alim, based on the breadboard 3.3V and 5V, as well as the controler, maybe an arduino nano at first) - and start the github repo / echOmods hackaday pages as well. Work on this with Sofian and Vlad. See also the echOmods repo.
  2. Playing with an electronic emulator of the transducer - as well as an electronic model. Work on this with a partner/supplier. Actually produced in the end with a uC - Silent.
  3. Play with a ultrasound durable fantom. Work on this with staticdet5 (commnotes_ent on HAD). Started a project with Virginie and Static on HAD.io.
  4. Play with the BeagleBone PRUs. Work on this with Vanderbilt.
  5. Playing with some intelligent uC of FPGA. uC has my preference at first for ease of use. WifiMCU seems fun (has a 8$ STM32F411CE - 100MHz, 2.4Msps ADC, FPU, DSP instructions and WiFi to stream!) or the Feather Wiced (arduino IDE compatible, based on a 34$ STM32F205 ARM Cortex M3 processor running at 120MHz. Project codename would be Croaker, not created yet. Who's volunteering?

Brief

Mostly, the thing would be to separate the Murgen PCB in 4 different modules (similar to the arduino trinket pro for example), so to have them ready to be used on a stripboard which would have already headers.

The strips would have the 19 tracks as on the attached picture below.

There would be 2 modules :

  • HV + pulser + md0100
  • TGC + enveloppe + SPI ADC

(Two other modules, Alim, and controler, will be stripboard based)

Given that the boards would be separated, would it make sense to try to **design the PCBs to have only 2 layers PCB** ? The width of the PCBs would not really matter, only to be sure they'd fit on a strip board. It would be interesting to have a form factor of the modules PCB comparable to one trinket pro =)

Adjusting the specs for a research module

  • 10ms between lines - 64 lines gives 640ms / image)
  • 200us at 2Msps is 400 points is 5600 bits is 700 bytes
  • 5600 bits per 10ms is 560,000 bits/s is 70kbytes/s.. should be OK with ESP8266 ;)

Details about the modules

1. HV+Pulser+MD0100 don't change. The module will need to have a SMA connector (same as on existing board).

2. VGA + enveloppe + ADC

  • VGA+enveloppe detector can remain the same. I just need to remove the filter that is between t he TestPoints4 and 5 and the transformer. The module output is the output of the ADL5511.
  • SPI can be replaced, this one was an overkill. 10Msps is too much, so instead a 2 or 3 Msps at 12 or 14 bits in SPI could be used on the ADC module.

Controls

The "controls" listed would be a potentiometer for the HV (as was done for murgen), a potentiometer for the TGC Gain (not an ADC, bit of overkill, rather a jumper to allow one to select the gain from either the track or a potentiometer which would feed in from 0 to 1V).

ADC details

The ADC can be as low as 12bits 2Msps when we're talking about envelope detection (what about MAX11105?). (btw, the signal output by it is offset by around 1.32V) on top of which we have 1.25V of signal. For the sake of the experiment, I would add another ADC board, clone of the 11105, with a MAX11103, to comparatively test both.

The motherboard

What is expected is to break down logic blocks into modules that could be put on a motherboard ( a 2.54mm stripboard), 19 tracks high.

Description

Board 1, aka Tobo:

  • The HV part of murgen is kept. The pulser of the first board is trigged by Pulse On (stripe 9) and shut by Pulse Off (stripe 10) (coming from the stripes). The pulser alimentation is fed through the RECOM component, with a potentiometer to select the HV level.
  • Signal is sent to a sideway SMA connector.
  • Signal is protected by a MD0100 + LC.
  • Low voltage signal is sent out of the board through a SMA connector.

Board 2, aka Goblin:

  • Low amplitude signal comes from the SMA connector.
  • It is fed through to the TGC.
  • The Gain of the TGC can come either from the Analog Gain Ramp stripe (stripe 7) or from a potentiometer which gives it 0 to 1V - selection through a jumper.
  • The filter part of the murgen board is removed (between TP2/3 and TP5/6)
  • Raw signal is either send to stripe 3 or sent to the ADL5511, selection through a jumper.
  • If output of the TGC goes to the ADL5511, it is then sent to the stripe 5 or to the 2/3Msps ADC (SPI).

Two other modules are being worked on, namely:

  • controler
  • alimentation

  • 16 bits : is it possible to set all 16 pins on pru0 as inputs? I saw you mentioned something about disabling the microSD functionality on the BB to get access to all 16 pins, but I wasn't exactly sure how. -- heartofasquid I thought the PRUs had a 16bit parallel capture mode or are all the pins not available on the BBB? (need to consult the docs) section 4.5.2.2.3.2 of the tech ref spruh73c.pdf One thought I had was to use both PRUs to capture alternate bytes/words but that was just a thought, again are all the pins available? I'd made a mistake, it looks like all of PRU0's GPI pins may be available, if we are happy to lose the microSD (no big loss - there are other ways to get data in/out of the BBB). So, we can theoretically get high-res captures up to about 15bits, if we need 1 pin for the clock.

Some reads on PRUs:

2016-04-11 Microcontrollers choices

Choice of a uC: "le boulot des microcontrollers, ce qui me gene sur l'espruino c'est le manque de sortie wifi - si on veut sortir des donnees en wireless." Deux choix se profilent

  • WICED : STM32F205RG 120MHz ARM Cortex M3 MCU : 17 timers et 3 × 12-bit, 0.5 μs ADCs with up to 24 channels and up to 6 MSPS in triple interleaved mode, 8- to 14-bit parallel camera interface (48 Mbyte/s max.)
  • Le WifiMCU : EMW3165 : M4: STM32F411CE @100MHz, DSP+FPU, 1×12-bit, 2.4 MSPS A/D converter -- Ce qui me fait peur est un WifiMCU de base en LUA, a voir comment repasser sur du plus bas niveau. L'avantage par contre c'est qu'il est dispo chez hackspark, et coute 18€ au lieu des 35$ du WICED =)

Remarques : Avec le M3 tu perds les instructions DSP et un FPU optionnel (cf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_Cortex-M). Par contre je ne sais pas si c'est correctement exploite, ni si on en a vraiment besoin.

Il y a aussi le Module Particle "Photon" http://www.lextronic.fr/P37394-module-particle-photon.html (M3 120 MHz et wifi) ou l'Arietta http://www.lextronic.fr/P32050-module-microcontrole-arietta-g25.html

Pour recycler un Minitel, ca se passe la

2016-06-30 New probes et al

Deux sondes d'occasions assez sympa pour démontage et analyse (mécanique / materiaux / piezos):

IA and US:

2016-07-01 Meeting with Nicolas

  • Terribly instructive. Lots to learn.

2016-07-02 Strategy

  • Just doing it!
  • Key learning: will be having fun soon =)

2016-07-03 Playing with a trifrequency probe

2016-07-04 Meeting

2016-07-05 RTL-SDR

  • Bivi's playing with RTL-SDR.. a simple short and one can get to the 0-30MHz, without any upverter. Fun. To explore.

2016-07-06 Making progress with EMW3165

  • With the help of Igor, preparing a UDP server of EMW3165 and getting a throughput of 9Mbit/s on average.
  • Getting one of the modules
  • Requesting Nicolas' help on getting HV7360LA (fab's suppliers are lost)
  • Thinking of the overall structure of the maker kit. I need a wooden box and an aquarium (plexiglass, glue = solvent cement)
  • Review of the HAD budget (probe, transducer, fab, et al?). Some euros may be saved.

2016-07-08 ATL Probes, ebay & WiFi

Other ATL Probes:

The ATL manual is available at : http://photos.medwrench.com/equipmentManuals/4692-2615.pdf (see copy in the 10PV folder)

2016-07-09 Goblin works !

2016-07-10 Should be doing some queries on Alibaba..

  • TODO: Getting samples and suppliers ?

2016-07-11 Getting a first transducer

  • Got and paid for a SM heavy backing transducer. Now, let's find what servo to use.
  • TODO: servo + transducer + mounting platform

2016-07-13 Some new stuff

2016-07-15 Playing at the lab

  1. Cleaning a signal with Goblin : done. The second log, with this time a new energy supply, gives a really beautiful outcome. Lesson: don't put 18V in a 3.3 and 5V regulator =) See the results here.

  2. Playign with an ATL Access 3. Getting nice echoes... of 1.3V, even not using the full gain (60%) and the full pulser voltage on Murgen. See the logs here. Was some work with the oil refill =)

2016-07-17 ATL probes

  • Finding more about ATL probes - with a list of probes, and trying to find back the pins!
  • TODO: Presentation on Goblin's module

2016-07-18 Some goodies

2016-07-19 Plenty of stuff

BBB->Baptiste Pierrat->FastPRU->UpTo3Msps
TODO:

Base sonde

  • Finir de remplir d'huile la sonde
  • Tester les connections du BBB, déterminer les masses, surtout trouver le moteur
  • Faire des acquisitions a full speed avec Murgen+Bitscope

SPI et BBB

  • Tester le SPI avec BBB (Baptiste Pierrat)
  • Si ca marche, tenter de controler Moteur + Pulser avec BBB

2016-07-20 Murgen on the way for the second prize!

2016-07-21 Next steps

2016-07-27 Apres Avignon

Yeayyy! Beagleboard fondation tweeted about Murgen -- that's driving traffic to github =)

High speed acquisition

  • PRUDAQ

Slow Acquisition

  • tobo/goblin+cletus+BBB to drive the goblin ADC
  • tobo/goblin+cletus+hannin to wirelessly stream

I decided the emulation was going to be necessary to avoid playing all the time with piezos. It appears Teensy 3.2 can handle that.

Choice of the servo:

More stuff about Phantoms: http://meritus.kopernika.pl/homemade-tastes-better/

And ... working on the 2016 Summer presentation.

2016-08-02 Last week, after a week holiday

  • Working on the milestone presentation.
  • Received a 12V alim, the PRUDAQ, and pushed the issue with Silent onto github. Ongoing !

2016-08-04 Soon off

2016-08-08 First day

  • Received tobo !! yeayyy
  • Playing with Doj and assembling the board (tobo, goblin, oneeye and mogaba). Should be enough to get first images.
  • power seems OK, first pulses look nice
  • Todo: test with my transducer for Cletus, and with ATL3
  • Thanks to Virginie for her support on debugging Doj !!

2016-08-09 Moving forward

Roughly, all the modules are fine. Emulator is done and tested. Some tests today:

What the next steps are :

High priority:

  • Use PRUDAQ
    • Clip the signal between 0 and 2V
  • Get image from the retroATL3

Medium Priority:

  • Bitbang Goblin's SPI directly
  • Resume documentation

Low Priority:

  • EMW3165 to move forward
  • Cletus for Servo + Piezo (and mech parts) - using SmartMaterials piezos

2016-08-10 Simple things

  • Clipped the signal
  • Documentation ongoing
  • Received TFT+Servos

2016-08-11 Small FPGA

Awesome work: a FPGA on a RPi0 footprint

2016-08-14 Acquiring a first image

  • Read some on this page: got an image from a ATL3 probe, a small metal cube in water.
  • Leaving for holidays =)

2016-08-22 Back from holidays

2016-08-24 Finalizing the autodocumentation to gitbook

2016-08-26 Show and tell

  • Showing the documentation generation process on an apero at l'Hotel Dieu

2016-08-28 Sharp eye

  • Thanks to a question raised by a sharp-eye, I'm putting as a disclaimer that this project is not one supported by the echopen's association. Even if I'm a cofounder of echopen, this project is a personnal one, for the echopen community. Clarified with hackaday, not an issue for them wrt the prizes.

2016-08-29 Hey from Liberia

  • got contacted for a partnership to improve, build, and crowdsell a set of modules. Interesting!

2016-08-30 Some good news

  • Got some feedback of PRUDAQ's people on the doc, thanks to them for this contribution!
  • Zach's been back. Let's see what can be done.
  • Prof Charles is going to be in Paris: let's meet!
  • Been invited to speak at Hackaday's show for its prize on Nov 5th

2017-01-10 Heated debate on ultrasound prices

2017-01-10 Consolidating

“We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.”

  • Presentation to ESPGG, participated to.
  • Hardware:
    • went to solder some stuff at HD
    • UltrasHound -- moving forward
    • Beaglebone PRUDAQ image added.
  • Added some details (better raw image quality) to the SigProc 101 jupyter notebook.

2017-02-19 Update to Doj and such

  • Thinking about an update for a neat, silkcreened, well designed motherboard. Would be excellent for Altay, Felix and maybe
  • Been doing some progress about the HV - working with Lorena to get one on board. I'll have 2 pulsers, will ask for 3. In total I'll still be able to send to (Afreen/Felix/Altay) + one for the GroupGet friends. Would leave me with one.
  • Afreen still working on the feather, after contacting the PRUDAQ guys.
  • Get Felix on Slack?
  • Call scheduled with Fouad on tuesday
  • Making progress on 20e214 - control of the probe OK. Display remaining, then CSV saving.
  • Taking more time about the Slack bot: lower priority
  • Update by Tobey: he found a way to compare PDFs.

2017-03-01 RPi0

2017-07-28 Thinking of an end

Got some amazing responses to the post on HN, held the 1st pos for an hour +, got over 200 ups, that's quite enough =) I guess I'm coming close to an end on this project, and my target would be to try and have a presentable project before Year 2. The five key milestones:

  1. Outreach: I have sold 10 kits so far, have ordered 5 sets more to a CN PCBA. Will sell those - and let people choose what they want when they'll want to play with those. I guess I'll have the community Milestone reached when someone provide a significant improvement / publishes thanks to this kit. Status: 50%. Bonus point if a unreached continent so far is involved.
  • ENDOFYEAR: 15 kits sold, CN not good, MF ongoing (20171217)
  1. Money: thanks to the small margin on kits, and hackaday prizes, i'm quite cash neutral as of today. Having the 5 kits sold would permit financing the acquisition of the unmantled CN probe. Status: 100% Bonus: trade the chinese probe on leboncoin / ebay. Status: 0%
  • ENDOFYEAR: still waiting (20171217)
  1. Product: I wanted to have a ultrasound hat done. I now have this ADC pHAT done, which can be perfected, but it's quite a win, so a simple 80V monopolar ultrasound board (independant from the motor / multiplexer) could be reached by Nov. Status: 0% Update: could be good to use the probe head to do a full portable probe =)
  • ENDOFYEAR: Ongoing with Matty (20171217)
  1. Documentation: There are a couple of notes here, I'd love to see all of those gathered / processed / put into a braindump. Gitbook is good enough, but lack structure for raw knowledge dump. TODOS include:
  • Listing all docs under YYYYMMDD
  • ENDOFYEAR: Quite happy, having added experiments (20171217)
  1. Future I'd be keen on having a 8 to 16 elements module prepared, just so to prepare the next gen and passing over of the project. Jan and Ivan to support. Status: 0% Muxing using ATTINY85 ?
  • ENDOFYEAR: Shifting to chaotic masks ;) (20171217)

Nice to have:

  • A slack bot? It would be fun to have a supporting bot to answer queries, like "where are the elements benchmarked, how do you process dicom, ..."

2017-08-05 Moving forward towards the board

  • Added something about the S3 probe

  • @done Adding the descs for modules and power needs

  • @done Removing double Autogen tags

  • @done Main readme as TPL

  • @cancelled DICOM rest of images

  • @done test some compressed sensing using golay codes on a single element piezo

2017-10-28 News from ther modules and pulser

Sometimes a kernel modules allows setting a parameter at run time. In this case you'll find the parameter under /sys/module/modulename/parameters/, with writable file permissions. The debug parameter of the ambassador module is an example of such a parameter. Set a value to this parameter with a simple echo command:

echo -n 1 > /sys/module/ambassador/parameters/debug

2017-10-29 What next now

2017-11-04 Checking shopping

2017-11-09 a bit of thoughts on fpga

2017-11-11 fpga need to move now

FPGA

  • Open-source: ICE40 & RPi
  • Perfs: SRAM + HX4K at least: IceZero ? Take the design, throw in 8Mb instead of 4Mb
    • IceZero board design can be reused
  • Silkscreening:
    • Keeping a clear markup of the different functions
  • ADC: 10 bit, 65Msps
    • 10 bits measures (or pseudo-12 with decimation ? by x3)
    • 6 bits remaining by acq: 2 top tour, Pon, Poff, 2 IOs
  • Interact
    • 2 buttons
      • Manual Trig
      • Select mode
    • 4 LEDs
      • Single mode
      • Loop mode
      • Acq (ready: on, data in: flashing)
  • Modes:
    • Single capture
      • 200us long captures at 65Msps : 208kbits
      • Capacity of close to 35+ captures if needed in RAM
    • Loop
      • 130us acq at 24 Msps over 16 bits: 57.6 kbits
      • That's more than 130 lines over a 8000000 bit SRAM
  • Transfer back to RPi through SPI
  • Variables (to be stored as a header of the file sent back)
    • Pon length
    • Poff length
    • Tdelay length
    • Tacq
    • RT -- repetition time
    • N acq -- number of acquisition
    • Implicit:
      • ADC bits used
      • Mode (loop or single)
  • Expose:
    • i2c: min. a OLED screen space kept on board
    • Gain Output
    • Logic (bidirectionally buffered): Trig, Pon, Poff, 2 top tours, 2 extra IOs
    • mini USB for power on
    • 5V and GND pads

2018-03-16 Bard probe 1

  • Worked on a bard probe with matty
  • An interesting patent is here -- found working on the patent parsin' graph tool
    • The more I glance at it, the more fascinated I become...
    • There is no motor! Just electromagnets =)
      • Then no need for a stepper motor
      • it may be the case that
    • The signal coming back is an already processed signal!
      • It means the pulse should come from another part of the board... ie another pair of cables.
        • Black and white? -> 5 ohm between this pair.. why not?
      • What about the other logics?
  • Next steps: trying and get the reference manual
  • Get full echographs boxes on ebay =)
    • Plug plugs on headers while running

2018-03-20 Updates

  • @done updates on new pHAT
    • remove this capa, remove i2c pullups for the thermometers (that was cost 5$ ! :/ )
    • connecter le ice40 au i2c rpi
    • pouvoir connecter des ios sur l'uart du rpi
    • router les gpio daughter existantes plutôt sur les pins pcm du rpi pour un jour essayer de sortir des données en i2s (GPIO26, 20, 21, 18)
    • du coup, mettre possiblement les Pulse controls sur des GPIOs non spécifiques comme GPIO05, 06, 13, 19.
    • Niveau header RPi, on peut connecter les SPI_EXT MISO / CS du coup.
    • Use 5 first bytes of a read to store the bin number / board ID ?
  • Need to make progress on this RTL-SDR for ultrasound ;)
  • @done find the right jekyll theme to leave gitbook

2019-10-27 Again lit3 progress

uControllers and other stuff

Croaker

Case of Feather WICED

  • 12 bits ADC
  • 150 us acquisition, single channel
  • 6 Msps interleaved mode

In 150 us (one line) you will get 6x12x150 = 10800 bits of data. On Wi-Fi speed 54Mb/s it will take 10800/54000000=0.0002s (200us) to send these data.

In practice, we rather see 8Mbit/s, thats 1.2ms to send it.

Case of ESP8266

Lower specs (for dev kit - 1 to 2 image / s OK)

  • SPI is 40MHz
  • 14 bit
  • 2 Msps
  • Comm through SPI
  • 10ms between lines - 64 lines gives 640ms / image)
  • 200us at 2Msps is 400 points is 5600 bits is 700 bytes
  • 5600 bits per 10ms is 560,000 bits/s is 70kbytes/s.. should be OK with ESP8266/EMW3165/equivalent ;)
