Stuff and Things.

Love it !

You're really busy everyday.

I try to fit things in around works since I work from home

One more CPLD soldered on, should have all of them on the PCBs by the end of the day, though I can't finish any more until my parts orders arrive. I can get partial builds done though.

Need to get some more of the PCB built for the Atom and I do have parts for that.

So I ran out of parts for the standard RGB2HDMI builds and decided to crack on with the Atom RGB2HDMI build.

It's coming along nicely:

But now I'm in the same position with that...

More parts on order, hopefully I'll be able to get them all finished before I go on holiday to France in a couple of weeks.

More as and when parts arrive

OK, so parts arrived for the RGB2HDMI boards:

So that means the 3 remaining boards will be completed today, leaving just the 40 pin connectors for the RPi which are the last part required, fingers crossed they'll come before I go away for the weekend.

Once they are all built I'll do a bulk test to be sure they all work as expected.

No parts for the Atom2HDMI board as yet, but they are all on order. I still have the Atom Colour board as well.

I also put a sneaky low bid in on this:

And I won. I don't know if it'll be repairable, but I'm going to give it a go and I do have another that works for reference when I get onto fixing it.

As luck would have it, I realised I had some of the missing caps for the Atom2HDMI board, so they were populated over lunch, and I finished the last 3 RGB2HDMI boards too, bar the RPi connector.

Not much left to do on these boards now, looking forwards to getting them finished
