The Ripperoni board is the first electrowetting PCB officially made by SSI Biology's device team. It tests different pad sizes and is controlled by a set of relays hooked up to an Arduino via the headers. The ripperoni uses a 300V power supply to charge the pads, and is our first step towards developing a microfluidics platform for DNA synthesis in space!
