@dwh@ovro.caltech.edu Hi Dave, I got it working now, took some time, but worth the effort :) Tried some VHDL things today. Works beautiful. It's just a short presentation about FPGAs in general and what these thing are capable of. So I will just present a few gates and flipflops and tell about the internals. What I'm still looking for is a project what really needs an FPGA and can't be done by a µC. There are lots of projects like this: http://people.ece.cornell.edu/land/courses/ece5760/finalprojects/s2014/jsw267/html/html/ which are stunning, but it seems that these are just to proove that one can use intelligent logic instead of software even when it's harder to implement. I'm looking for applications which actually need FPGAs because of massive parallel data conversion or real time requirements. The links you gave are amazing. This CARMA Board is an impressive project. Best regards, Simon
