Power Dissipation As this is an engineering problem I am going to use some maths (instead of guessing) to show you guys that the 1.2vreg will...
thanks, no smoke 12v / 3v / 1.2v lines look good so the PCB likes healthy :) will try and get the bottom half of the case done this week.
No system mod required it should just work, currently its dvi / hdmi technically is possable to do VGA but that would require mods to the board...
Yup :-)
how would you program the flash ? if you do it off board with a 3d party programmer you will need to convert the top level *.bit file generated...
I dont mind its all open source so do with it what you want just dont blame me if it dont work! Unseen kindly updated the fpga pinout for v3...
i was thinking to setup a paypal button on my webpage so when you purphase you add a note stating which fpga you are going to use xc3s50a or...
@Helder nice work, fixed my BOM to include the xc3s200a farnell number thanks for spotting that. @Strogen I dont have an export license for...
Oh yer good catch dude oops will fix the BOM tonight.
I need to make clear that if you use the cheaper xc3s50a it ONLY works with TV's that support 480i / 576i ie they can handle interlaced images....
uploaded the BOM for v3 onto my website it includes farnell part numbers coming out just over £6 (not including the FPGA). heres a pic of v3...
my idea for now is to just use ribbon cable to connect the two boards together, so that the top board can move freely. Then I was going to glue...
Those vias are 0.9mm holes but yes I am going to wire the boards together. After i get the boards and test them I will start work on the case....
@GillBert yer you can flash it before you solder, that will work fine. Hopefully tomorrow I will finish v4 struggling with the PCB design rule...
yer I got a v3 welded into a pal cube, it didnt work at first spent all weekend trying to find a bad solder joint :-( then realised it was a...
Just completed version 3 of this little board http://www.staffs2.webspace.virginmedia.com/shuriken%20video.htm and I was thinking its not that far...
