That sounds like a really good and simple idea! I know this might be a dumb question (I don't have that much experience on FIFO's):

Because when the FIFO is full, I would have to read faster than the values beeing written into the FIFO. Or am I missing the point? Or should I just take a really large FIFO? I think I would understand it if you explained the last sentence a bit more.

Thanks a lot already for all your help!
