PixiStamp: A tool to acquire, process, and sequence AER data from event-driven systems

We present a new tool, PixiStamp, to readout, process, and sequence data of event-driven systems that exchange data using the Address Event Representation (AER) protocol. PixiStamp is a compact acquisition board that can be easily attached to other devices. Over other existing solutions, it has enhanced hardware processing capabilities to process AER data and generate control signals after data processing, making possible a closed-loop device control. The article describes in detail the system architecture, its mechanical design, and its main features.
