MCU Firmware Walkthrough

The microcontroller (MCU) used in the Wire-Free Miniscope v4 is an ATSAMD51. It sits between the Python 480 CMOS image sensor and the micro SD Card and handles all on-board control and operation of the Miniscope. The firmware uses a combination of custom written driver and ones imported using ATMEL SMART.
