 One of our guest speakers in 2010 was [[http://web.natur.cuni.cz/zoologie/eko/nekovarova.php|Phd. Tereza Nekovarova]], who works at the Laboratory of Neurophysiology of Memory, Institute of Physiology, [[http://www.cas.cz/index.html | Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic]]. She asked us to repair the operant conditioning chamber for experiments regarding spatial cognitive abilities of rats. One of our guest speakers in 2010 was [[http://web.natur.cuni.cz/zoologie/eko/nekovarova.php|Phd.

-The electronic parts of the chamber are positioned mostly on the right side of the front panel. Their task is to detect slot usage and control the feeder and door motors. The central control point is the [[project:brmduino|Brmduino]] board equipped with an ATMega328 microcontroller. The firmware accepts commands and reports status over USB. All the electronics is powered just by the USB port, no external power source is necessary.+The electronic parts of the chamber are positioned mostly on the right side of the front panel.

 The figure below describes the slot sensor and door control relay circuit. (Note that the physical layout of the components is different, this describes just the electrical circuit.) The figure below describes the slot sensor and door control relay circuit.
