[Xylo-SDR] Missing messages
It was interesting that when I sent my test message at 9:50 a.m., it
triggered the digest being sent out. It also appears that the digest
contains all messages sent to the list, even when it was down between
Thursday and this morning, but the archives do not.
So for the record, and the catch everyone up, I've edited the digest so
that messages I don't think got through are now reproduced here.

Eric-
Don't worry about the delay. I was out horizontal for about 5 days with
the flu and am just starting to get caught up on stuff.
I'll sign on as the SI/PCB guy for the Atlas board. After I've had a
chance to look over the design as it is now envisioned we can start
discussion specifics. Looking at the various docs that were available
last week gave me a pretty good idea of what's going to be involved, but
here were a lot of unknowns and TBD's at that time.
I guess I'll have to install a svn client on my system so I can access
all the new docs.
Regards,
Ray WB6TPU

You DA MAN! I looked at about 4 motherboards and could not see any part
number markings.
Wonder If they have the newer 24 pin part.
Thanks for the contribution!

The 20-pin header specified in the ATX spec rev 2.1 is in the Mouser
catalog as Part # 538-39-29-9202 @ $1.39.

Mine just arrived - too cute to pass up. Also arrived, the 12V switching
regulated power brick to feed it. 3 Molex ATX PCB headers on order from
Mouser to give it a home.

Wow, a guy can't even lurk anymore. (smile)
They even have a pdf of the manual.
Here it is:

Eric,
World's tiniest 12V DC-DC ATX power supply unit (PSU)
<http://www.mini-box.com/s.nl/sc.8/category.13/it.A/id.417/.f>
Unfortunately, it wants 12 Volts regulated and will shut down at 13
Volts.

Also note the Nios evaluation download. Nios is a series of three CPU
cores for Altera FPGA's. The smallest one takes less than half the
Cyclone on the Xylo board.

Subject: [Xylo-SDR] A/D input circuit
I've built a CAD model of a possible input circuit for the A/D converter
(be it Wolfson/TI/Cypress or whatever).
http://www.hamsdr.com/dnld.aspx?id=135
and SVN ( OK Eric!)
Since all the A/D converters we are considering have differential inputs
the to make the most of this we need a single ended to differential
converter (until we have a mixer that can use a differential input
directly).
It's lifted directly from Leif SM5BSZ Linrad work and comes highly
recommended.
Any alternatives and recommendations as to suitable opamps etc would be
appreciated before I model the noise performance etc.

Test only. Do not reply. May have problem with reflector.

Subject: [Xylo-SDR] Lionheart board
I've been seeing how far I can push my kitchen sink PCB processing over
the last couple of days. I can reliably manage 8/8 design rules (8 mil
tracks with 8 mil spacing) and footprints for parts like the Philips
LPC2106 ARM controller with 0.5 mm spacing leads. This is for my 'day
job', designing a sports training aid. The ARM board is for a
pocket-sized processing/display system communicating with a head-mounted
unit using a MEMS accelerometer, MSP430F1232 MCU and nRF2401A wireless chip.
I will try making a prototype of a very basic FPGA system comprising the
Cyclone II, EPCS1 and FX2LP, with a JTAG connector, just to prove to
myself that the configuration system we are using works OK. It'll cost
next to nothing apart from a little time.
I print artwork onto Premium JetStar film using my old Epson Stylus
Photo 870 printer, followed by UV exposure onto FPC-16 PCB material. I
then develop in NaOH and etch in hot FeCl3 with continuous agitation by
hand.
73, Leon
