https://github.com/ThomasAkam/active_commutator

Open source active commutator for Open Ephys / Intan electrophysiology systems. Motorized device used in neuroscience research, particularly in studies involving freely moving animals, to manage wires or fibers connecting headstage or other device to external equipment. Addresses common issue of tether tangling during experiments with freely moving subjects. Relies on Hall-Effect sensor detecting rotation of cable, this information is continuously fed to Adafruit microcontroller that operates servo motor to counter-rotate cable as needed, preventing twisting and ensuring clear, uninterrupted data collection. System can also be paused, restarted, and its neutral position recalibrated with simple button presses, allowing for flexible operation.
