Miscellaneous

These files are either models of actual hardware that we use for visualization, or some supporting components that can be used in a variety of scenarios such as walking, flight, physiological experimental setups, or tools used for fly tethering. Models of the tablet and camera used in the “Inexpensive Treadmill,” a local copy of an external three-axis manipulator, cases for MCUs, and the scale bar used only for visualizations are among the files in this current category.

Scale bar

A FreeCAD model of a scale bar that can be used in assemblies. We also used it as approximations in photos of components. It doesn’t really make sense to produce it.

Tablet

A FreeCAD model of an existing tablet, the Amazon Fire 7”. The model can be used in visualizations.

PS3 Eye

FreeCAD model of the Playstation 3 Eye camera, which we used in our Inexpensive Treadmill setup. Potentially useful in visualizations.

Dispensing Needle

FreeCAD model of a blunt tip dispensing need we use in our setup. Useful in visualizations.

Heatsink

FreeCAD model of a heatsink we use for our tethering station. Useful for visualization.

Open-Labware Manipulator

Local copy of the Open-Labware Manipulator.

Adapters

Some basic files that help adapting between different “things” – for example a specific metrical component to an imperical setup.

Baseplates

Acrylic plates with laser cut (or drilled) holes in a specific grid can be used as a light-weight and simple basis to build experiments.

Camera Cases

Some simple components that help with board cameras from the company Basler, as well as cable cameras from Misumi.

Sphere parts

Sphere-related parts, such as molds or internal structures to support the sphere.

Lens mount M12

3D models for mounting an S-mount or M12 lens, often used in CCTV cameras, to a camera.

MCU Cases

Cases for Raspberry Pi and Jetson Nano. Local copies of files that worked well.

RJ45 to Archer M55

A two-way adapter between to specific connectors that we needed for a prototype.

Tablet holder

Model of a tablet holder, used for visualization.

Wells

Wells or small arenas are confined areas, usually used for single-fly behavioral experiments sometimes with optogentic stimulation. Responses are typically filmed and analyzed through video tracking.
