This release corrects a few minor issues with the previously released Rigid-Flex PCB (Release v4.2) as well as adds the ability for the V4 Miniscope to respond to Vendor ID, Product ID, and Firmware Version requests over I2C.

  • The previous V4 rigid-flex pcb release had a 6mm spacing between mounting screw holes on the LED portion of the PCB. The housing this PCB mounts to actually has 7mm spacing of screw holes. We have now fixed this so the Rigid-Flex PCB mounting holes are also 7mm apart. If you have the previous version of the PCB don't worry, You can just use 1 screw, cut slots into the PCB to accommodate 7mm spacing, or just glue the PCB to the housing.
  • Changed the 3.3V pad to 5V in the 5pad expansion header of the Rigid-Flex PCB. This won't affect the function of the system but will make implementing expansion boards a little bit more flexible.
  • We have added the ability for the V4 to respond to Vendor ID (VID), Product (ID), and Firmware versions over I2C. You can look in the definitions.h file of the MCU source code for specific values and definitions. If you want your own Vendor ID to be added to the source code just let us know.
