Customized MEMS controller and MEMS mirror developmental kits
Driver Controller:
Mirrorcle-designed controllers have a fast Microchip PIC32MZ MCU which provides USB communication, driving for MEMS devices, synchronization with other systems, and programmable hardware filtering to avoid overshoot and ringing.The controllers are USB bus-powered and provides power for the embedded MEMS driver and low-power peripherals. These systems can run solely on a laptop powered by its battery.Interfacing with the Controller is provided by Windows applications and APIs (C++, Matlab, LabView), as shown in many SDK examples and executables included with the Mirrorcle Software Suite (sold separately). Limited MEMS driving functionality is also possible via serial terminal commands.
Scanning Mirror (2 units):
The Scanning Mirror has point-to-point capability to point to and stop at any angle in its specified range (below).
Beam steering in arbitrary positions and beam velocity up to the specified bandwidth.
