Electronics Unit

The ELU is the main control unit for the COCoNuT experiment.

The electronics unit (ELU) of COCoNuT is based on an STM32F405 micro-controller. Motors, pumps and heaters are controlled by the ELU while temperatures and pressures can be logged.

The different tasks are managed by extension boards that provide the interface to other devices, e.g. pumps. The extension boards can be attached on the back in the various slots.
