ALPIDE Visualiser

In 2020, the ALICE Inner Tracking System (ITS) will be upgraded with Monolithic Active Pixel Sensor (MAPS) particle detectors. The ALPIDE chip is a custom-made MAPS, made specifically for instrumenting the ALICE detector. This report details the process of creating a system for making the ALPIDE technology accessible to a broader audience by interfacing it to the Arduino hobbyist electronic platform along with a supporting GUI application. The system, along with a stack of ALPIDE sensors, can be used to introduce students to this technology and bridge the gap between the technical and visual world.
