Mezzanines

Back from CASCA since Friday. I've been working on getting a few things built, namely my mezzanine board which I'm going to mount on the FPGA board. The mezzanine is really simple; I have an input that takes the signal from each camera pixel and converts it into a signal that the FPGA can read via a really fast comparator.

For those of you who don't know, a comparator is (typically) an op-amp that compares two voltages at its input and then produces a high or low output depending on which of the two is greater. 

Once the mezzanine is on order, I have to buckle down and finish debugging a few pits and pieces of code that aren't working exactly like they are supposed to. Namely, some of my data isn't making its way into the packets that are being streamed to the computer.

The poster that I made for CASCA is available here.
