hey everyone! my name is palladium, and I am building a tamagotchi (basically) on a macropad, based on neurons as my pet. i have not gotten to the neuron part but i’ll figure it out through wikipedia :)
i have created the pcb layout in kicad, and i am trying to learn how to use fusion 360, as I have absolutely no idea what is going on. i’ll just watch a few tutorials and figure out how to design a case around all of this.
I started off by planning out how exactly I would run a neuron model on an ESP32, and tested out three models (in order of complexity): GLIF, perisomatic, and all-active.
After reading the official documentation from the AllenSDK GitHub repo, I wrote some scripts testing out the models, which will later be used to reverse-engineer the models so I can figure out how I can put them on a Teensy ESP32.
Although the simulations were great, I had to adapt to outdated Python versions by using WSL and Linux to run the initial Python tests. In addition, NEURON gave me a hard time with the perisomatic and all-active models, but I did get some C files which I can look at later.
