Resumen:
The AMIGA project is an enhancement of the Pierre Auger Observatory.  The engineering array consists in an hexagon of seven scintillator counters in each of the vertices and center, buried close to each station of an infill of Auger Surface Detectors.The counters are devided in 10 m2 modules segmented in 64 scintillatorstrips and coupled to a multi-anode PMT. The electronic system of a single module acquires and processes the signals of the PMT, and it transfers the data to the surface.An electronics interface board was designed to extract the data from thecounter and to provide a remote control of the system. In this work, wepresent its design and perfomance during  the AMIGA first acquisitionperiod in 2012.
