Description

After a couple of iterations for single-element ultrasound pulse-echo devices, the pic0rick choses simplicity to reach a modular design, allowing for bipolar pulser, fast acquisition and relatively simple, barebone design. No FPGA, no BGA, plain old raspberry pico.

This PDF is also a ZIP that contains the sources to the hardware and some data too, don’t hesitate to have a look. Just rename the file from .PDF to .ZIP and you’re ready to go.
