A project pertaining to design and prototyping of electronics pertaining to bias, amplification and control of the photo-sensors described above has been conducted by Brendan Krueger, [[User:Senderovich|Igor Senderovich]], and Woody Underwood. Due to the expected variability of performance of these solid-state sensors, the electronics provides for individually selectable bias voltage, controlled amplification over a wide range of light intensities, as well as feedback on key on-board voltages and ambient temperature. Additionally, the summation of signals over scintillator channels vertical in the focal plane is incorporated.

Due to the expected variability of performance of these solid-state sensors, the electronics provides for individually selectable bias voltage, controlled amplification over a wide range of light intensities, as well as feedback on "board health": state of key voltages and ambient temperature. Additionally, the summation of signals over scintillator channels vertical in the focal plane is incorporated. Communication with the Tagger electronics for monitoring and bias control will be done of Ethernet.
