NINscopeHF Hardware

The NINscopeHF hardware utilizes the regular NINscope design with some specific modifications. Most of the assembly steps follow those already documented on our regular NINscope hardware page, which contains step-by-step instructions.

Guidelines for building a NINscopeHF

After completing steps 1-2 in our step-by-step tutorial for the regular NINscope, a metal tube needs to be inserted in the top PCB of the PCB assembly to attach flexible tubing, which allows pressurized air to flow onto the sensor PCB and cool it. The PCB assembly is then mounted in the printed holder [Insert metal tube and mount PCB assembly in new holder].

Regulator for pressurized air, connectors and tubing

  • 1x RS-stocknr.:122-649 Norgren G 1/8 Pneumatic Regulator - 0.3bar to 7bar
  • 1x RS-stocknr.:865-5945 SMC Back Entry Pressure Gauge 2bar, 4K8-2.5
  • 2x RS-stocknr.:812-049 Legris Straight Threaded Adaptor to G 1/8 Male to Push In 6 mm, LF3000 Series 20 bar
  • 1m RS-stocknr.:144-7897 Legris Air Hose Blue Polyurethane 6mm x 100m 1100U Series
  • 1x RS-stocknr.:145-3727 Legris Pneumatic Manual Control Valve 7910 Series
  • 1x RS-stocknr.:146-5137 Legris Reducer Nipple to Push In 6 mm to Push In 4 mm, 3168 Series 20 bar
  • 1x Metal tube 1-1.5mm thickness

New 3D printed PCB assembly holder

The 3D printed sensor housing differs from that of a regular NINscope and lacks part of the enclosure to allow for more air to pass through the PCBs of the electronics assembly. The sensor assembly is screwed on to the 3D printed sensor house rather than glued in place. In addition to printing the part (e.g. using a Formlabs printers), one can order the part through Jason Rosenberg (https://www.rosenbergindustries.com) by providing the linked file.
