  The acquisition of a single Silicon Photomultiplier require multiple and
expensive electronics modules as : preamplifier, discriminator, bias voltage
power supply, temperature monitor, Scalers, Analog to Digital Converter and
Time to Digital Converter . The developed ArduSiPM is a compact cost effective
and easily replicable Hardware software module for SiPM detector readout. The
ArduSiPM uses an Arduino DUE (an open Software/Hardware board based on an ARM
Cortex-M3 microcontroller) as processor board and a piggyback custom designed
board (Shield), these are controlled by custom developed software and
interface. The Shield contains different electronics features both to monitor,
to set and to acquire the SiPM signals using the microcontroller board. The
shield embed a controlled bias voltage power supply, a fast voltage
preamplifier, a programmable fast discriminator to generate over threshold
digital pulse , a peak hold to measure the pulse height, a temperature monitor
system, a scaler to monitor over threshold rate and arrival time of the pulses.
A TCP/IP Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection is used both to control and to acquire
the ArduSiPM remotely with either a PC software or a Tablet APP (depending on
the application).
