AniScope
A modular ethoscope for customised behavioural experiments with tiny animals.
# Features
Due to its modular design, AniScope is easy to modify:
- Easy customization with the OpenSCAD Customizer
- Create and use presets
- Multiple arenas available
- Goes hand-in-hand with [BeeHive](https://github.com/BeeHive-org/BeeHive) for electronics
# Quick start
1. [Download OpenSCAD](https://openscad.org/downloads.html)
2. Download this repository
- *From Github: click `Code`->`Download Zip`*
- *From command line: `git clone https://github.com/roaldarbol/AniScope.git`*
3. Open OpenSCAD
4. Open `hardware/scad/aniscope_assembly.scad`
5. Enable the Customizer
- `Window` -> `Customizer`
6. For the best experience, change `Show description`to `Description only`.
# Acknowledgements
The term ethoscope was coined by Quentin Geissman and Giorgio Gilestro (see their [Ethoscope](https://giorgiogilestro.notion.site/giorgiogilestro/Ethoscope-User-Manual-a9739373ae9f4840aa45b277f2f0e3a7)). The philosophy behind the modularity also takes great inspiration from the [UC2](https://github.com/openUC2/UC2-GIT) modular microscope and [BeeHive](https://github.com/BeeHive-org/BeeHive) for electronics.
# Tips
For keeping track of magnet polarities, we recommend the [Magic Magnet tool](https://www.printables.com/model/409283-the-magic-magnet-tool).
