BeeHive: a flexible open hardware platform for behavioural experiments

" summary

BeeHive is an open hardware platform for building behavioural neuroscience experiments that uses an ESP32 main board running MicroPython plus swappable daughter boards (temperature sensors, motor controllers, etc.). It uses an existing standard connector ecosystem so modules interoperate with other open-hardware systems, aiming to lower the entry barrier for students and early-career researchers to assemble, control and program experimental setups in Python. The talk describes the platform’s architecture and outlines current and potential applications.
