MicroFPGA is an FPGA-based platform for the electronic control of microscopes. It aims at using affordable FPGA to generate or read signals from a variety of devices, including cameras, lasers, servomotors, filter-wheels, etc. It can be controlled via Micro-Manager, or its Java, Python and LabView communication libraries, and comes with optional complementary electronics.

Documentation and tutorials are available on https://mufpga.github.io/.

This repository contains the FPGA configuration for the Au, Au+ and Cu FPGAs (Alchitry). In order to use MicroFPGA the configuration must be uploaded to the FPGA using AlchitryLabs or AlchitryLoader.

• Pre-compiled files can be downloaded here.
• Instructions on how to build and upload the source code can be found on the project's website.
