Team:UC Davis/Potentiostat Design Get Started

Downloads:

1. Download the OliView Version 2.0 PCB. Upload the zip file directly to the Seeed Studios Fusion PCB Ordering Page

3. Populate the PCB with parts. 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. Attach your alligator clips to the following leads: working electrode-red, counter electrode-black, reference electrode-white.

5. Follow the getting started instructions provided on the Teensy website. 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 extract the main github folder. Open the .pro file with Qt Creator. Plug in your new potentiostat and your and being your experiments!
