I copied the SiPM decoupling from the cosmic watch detector since i the SiPM is just 4 pads for electricity, and i wasnt sure how to couple it.
i changed approach, and to make my project more unique i decided to make a system of 8 SiPM’s to try and triangulate the direction from which the Muons are coming from, like the KM3NeT-ARCA in Sicily (which i was actually crazy close to a week ago?? like i was in the sea near it), by having the detectors arranged in a cube shape which will let me detect from which direction it came from given which detectors it triggers! i also, with advice from ai, changed the voltage switcher and hence rewired it :P
I started by researching the project, and found a nice guide online! I read the datasheet for LT3461, which is a step-up dc/dc converter that will convert usb 5v to 30v for the SiPM. For now im following the tutorial and the datasheets, but i will add my touches soon!
