Getting Started
Downloads:
1. Download the OliView Version 2.0 PCB. Upload the zip file directly to the Seeed Studios Fusion PCB Ordering Page.
2. Order all the parts contained in the parts list. Be sure to order the teensy with pins.
3. Populate the PCB with components. A detailed walk through of the soldering process is available here. This step requires the soldering of surface mounted ICs, there are many tutorials on YouTube describing proper technique and best practices. Solder pins onto the following teensy microcontroller pin slots: AREF, DAC, 3.3V, & GND.
4. Strip an old USB mini cable to expose the four colored wires. Solder your alligator clips to the following colored wires: working electrode-red, counter electrode-black, reference electrode-white.
5. Follow the getting started instructions for the Teensy microcontroller. Download the Teensy 3.1 OliView sketch, and upload it to the Teensy using the standard upload procedure. Plug the microcontroller into the OliView breakout board.
6. Download and install Qt Creator.
7. Download and extract the main github folder. Open the .pro file with Qt Creator. Plug in your new potentiostat, then press play in Qt Creator. Begin your experiments!
