<azonenberg> Wow, channel is getting full - 21 people?
<azonenberg> Too bad i havent had much progress to report these last few days
<azonenberg> all of these silly orientation activities to go to
<bart416> Wow SpeedEvil is an asshole :|
<azonenberg> bart416: also, http://i.imgur.com/Nb684.jpg
<azonenberg> my latest creation
<azonenberg> been keeping me away from fab work though :(
<bart416> :D
<azonenberg> its my first FPGA based design
<bart416> Congrats!
<bart416> First FPGA is always the hardest one eh
<azonenberg> dont congratulate me yet lol
<azonenberg> i dont know if it works :P
<bart416> also nice smiley
<azonenberg> When plugged in, it doesnt smoke
<bart416> Well, that's something :P
<azonenberg> and, after fixing the missing trace at botto mleft, the FPGA + flash show up in a boundary scan correctly
<azonenberg> But all of the buffer logic, though simple, is untested so far
<bart416> You forgot a trace?
<bart416> Bad bad azonenberg!!!
<azonenberg> Lol
<azonenberg> its a rev 1 board
<bart416> No excuses!
<bart416> Also my low orbit ion cannon to kill assholes on irc project is keeping me away from working on my arm processor :(
<bart416> So what's up for rev2?
<azonenberg> rev3 actually, and two fixed traces
<azonenberg> but i dont plan to make more than one of these
<azonenberg> i have three PCBs
<azonenberg> (min order)
<azonenberg> parts to populate two of them
<azonenberg> and the research group only needed one
<reportingsjr> azonenberg: what's the cost?
<azonenberg> reportingsjr: i have to actually add it up lol
<azonenberg> bought some other components on the smae order
<azonenberg> and used some from my existing inventory
<reportingsjr> ah
<reportingsjr> how did you solder it all?
<reportingsjr> drag soldering, reflow?
<azonenberg> Mostly drag but i reflowed a few of the ICs
<azonenberg> So some time soon (tonight maybe not, tomorrow and friday hopefully) i'll be doing some serious tests of CuCr for masking Ta2O5
<azonenberg> wants to get back to work
