Description
FPGA status and office hours dicsussion.
B
All
right,
Hello
everybody
welcome.
This
is
our
stand
up,
we're
going
to
start
out
with
fpga
work
and
then
go
into
office
hours.
What
we
do
is
we
talk
about
what
we've
done
over
the
past
week,
what
we're
going
to
be
doing
over
the
next
week
and
if
there's
any
resources
that
we
need
and
any
roadblocks
that
we
have
all
right
so
Paul,
why
don't
you
lead
us
off?
Well,.
C
B
Yeah
we
did
a
little
bit
of
Maintenance
over
the
over
the
break.
We
took
off
for
the
holiday
and
did
some
maintenance
upgrades
and
updates
to
the
to
the
unrated
server,
which
was
was
good.
Everything
went
really
well,
so
thank
you
very
much
for
keeping
it
running
smoothly.
It's
kind
of
nice
to
not
have
any
lengthy
reports
about
maintenance
or
setup,
and
we
we
had
an
additional
inquiry
over
the
break
about
asking
how
we,
how
we
set
it
up
and
how
we
did
it.
B
B
B
Yeah
no
I've
been
extremely
busy,
but
I
have
not
done
a
whole
lot
in
the
fpga
lab
other
than
read
fpga
papers,
which
have
been
that's,
been
quite
the
experience
over
the
past
couple
of
weeks.
So
I've
learned
a
lot
about
fpga
design,
some
of
which
is
useful
and
some
of
which
is
is
kind
of
not
for
what
we're
doing.
We
picked
up.
Another
fpga
volunteer
he's
from
India
and
he
works
for
Matlab
or
math
Works
and
and
enjoys
his
day
job,
but
wanted
to
do
more.
B
So
I
had
a
great
meeting
with
him
over
the
past
couple
weeks
and
I
hope
that
he'll
be
able
to
join
us
and
and
participate
like
in
these
meetings
and
and
on
slack
as
well,
and
if
not,
then
I'll
just
keep
working
with
him
individually.
It's
it's
been
not
really
nice
and
onshul
is
now
in
a
completely
different
time
zone.
So
he's
has
been
a
frequent
attendee
of
these
meetings.
B
He
is
now
in
India,
so
his
time
zone
is
different
and
what
we've
done
is
set
up
a
meeting
for
now
we
have
multiple
people
in
India,
so
we've
set
up
a
meeting
later
in
the
day
on
Tuesdays
I,
think
Tuesdays
will
be
our
meeting
day
and
that
that
one
we'll
try
to
have
later
today
and
I
think
you're
going
to
lead
that
meeting
today.
I
should
be
able
to
do
it.
D
Okay,
I
found
the
unmute
button
and
yeah
so
I've
been
looking
at
I,
ended
up
deciding
on
an
RF
synthesizer
to
do
the
up
conversion,
and
also
just
for
testing
purposes
down
conversion
as
well,
and
yeah
I
ordered
some
more
than
I'm
going
to
try
and
see
the
net
like
the
next
the
week
or
two
to
get
a
workspace
set
up
and
to
get
those
deaf
boards.
Working
and
I
also
did
I'm.
D
E
Well,
I,
don't
have
anything
much
to
say:
I've
been
watching
and
hoping
you'd
have
some
great
successes.
I
have
been
spending
this
long
duration.
Since
the
last
meeting
first
customer
support
I
had
major
problems
there,
but
I've
also
been
working
on
something
I
didn't
think.
I
would
be
interested
in,
but
remote
and
radio
site
sort
of
like
your
remote
lab,
a
gentleman
has
donated
all
kinds
of
equipment
to
the
deep
space
exploration.
E
Society
and
we've
been
setting
up
remote
access
to
this
HF
and
VHF
station,
which
is
out
in
the
middle
of
number
and
I'm
learning
a
lot
about
remote
operations.
So
I'm
setting
up
my
own
lab
for
remote
operations
of
my
equipment
using
similar
techniques
to
what
they're
doing,
but
I
also
got
involved
with
a
different
part
of
the
deep
space
exploration
society
that
is
their
their
20
meter
dish
which
they're
using
for
both
ham,
radio
and
space
science
and
I,
recently
contacted
the
when
it's
the
name
of
it.
E
Now
the
planetary
Society
in
Germany,
which
has
also
a
60
meter,
dish,
Volcom
Observatory,
which
is
being
managed
by
amsat
DL
and
so
I,
contacted
Peter
and
were
and
I
talked
to
the
board
of
the
deep
space
exploration
society
and
we're
going
to
try
to
set
up
some
a
very
long,
Baseline
interferometry
experiments
between
Colorado
and
Germany,
and
possibly
a
third
60
meter
dish
in
New
Jersey,
which
is
interested
in
working
on
this.
So
I've
gotten
sort
of
sidetracked,
but
has
any
of
that
got
to
do
with
fpgas?
E
E
B
Okay,
very
good
yeah,
many
of
us
that
or
our
members
of
DSes
and
are
familiar
with
the
work
and
bakum
as
well.
So
good
deal
all
right
over
the
next
week.
We
are
going
to
continue
the
process
of
working
through
the
wonderful
free
book
from
Analog
Devices
that
walks
you
through
the
Pluto
and
how
to
use
it
and
access
the
fpga
stuff
on
it.
We've
had
a
whole
lot
of
luck
here
and
discovered
some
interesting
things
with
the
Pluto
loopback,
which
you
can
see
on
slack.
B
We're
not
really
sure
why
our?
What
were
the
results
that
we
got
look
a
little
bit
different.
The
constellation
has
some
some
interesting
distortions
in
it.
So
as
a
side
project,
it's
helping
us
go
through
and
look
at
our
particular
station,
and
in
addition
to
that
we're
we
have,
of
course,
the
706
and
and
adrb
9371
up
and
running
there's
been
a
lot
of
progress
from
swato
on
the
encoder.
So
he's
got
several
updates
that
have
come
through
over.
B
If
you've
noticed
on
on
GitHub
operations
channel
on
slack,
you
can
see
that
there's
been
some
updates
to
his
code
base.
We
do
not
yet
have
his
updates
to
the
dbbs2
and
S2X
encoder
folded
into
the
bitstream
that
we're
using
in
remote
Labs,
but
that's
on
the
agenda
to
get
that
incorporated
and
what
that
means.
Is
that
our
our
particular
approach,
which
is
to
to
have
one
repository
that
you
download
and
and
build
in
order
to
use
the
the
remote
lab,
is
going
to
have
to
get
some
some
attention.
B
What
we
we've
been
doing
is
really
heavily
leveraging
sub
modules
in
in
git,
in
order
to
pull
in
The
Analog
Devices
reference
design
and
then
pull
in
our
custom
IP
and
put
that
in
the
middle
and
then
update
the
tackle
script
that
that
hooks
everything
up.
And
then
we
also
wrote
essentially
a
bus
expander
that
efficient
bus
expander.
B
So
all
of
that
we're
gonna
roll
that
and
move
it
forward
and
make
it
more
efficient
and
sort
of
a
better
repository
to
have
so
that
that
less
and
less
that
you
have
to
do
as
an
individual
in
order
to
get
it
to
to
work
for
you
on
a
high-end
Dev
station.
So
those
are
the
things
that
that
are
kind
of
like
we've
noticed
happening
over
the
past
couple
weeks
and
and
see
happening,
big
steps
forward
in
some
really
nice
open
source
code
for
encoders.
B
So
I
can't
really
share
a
lot
about
all
of
his
recent
work
because
it
has
to
do
with
proprietary
stuff
for
starlink,
but
we
are
definitely
on
the
right
track
and
that's
very
exciting
to
hear
so.
What
we're
going
to
do
is
continue
to
Leverage
The,
the
various
open
source,
libraries
and
stuff
that
we
have
available
to
us
that
we've
been
planning
on
using,
and
this
sort
of
receiver
approach
will
take
in
the
the
opulent
voice.
Uplink
they've
been
working
hard
to
to
kind
of
bring
alive.
B
B
Onshore,
is
very
interested
in
that
and
there's
a
couple
of
other
folks
that
are
interested
in
that
and
have
some
industry
experience.
That's
one
of
the
things
that
I'd
like
to
to
continue
to
kind
of
raise
up
to
the
attention
of
the
various
teams
that
we
we
need
to
start,
maybe
being
a
little
more
concerned
about
that
aspect
of
the
design.
B
Anyway,
we're
in
good
shape,
moving
forward
and
still
have
plenty
of
opportunities
to
to
demonstrate
and
show
over
the
next
year
we're
going
to
concentrate
mainly
on
I
think
Defcon
as
a
big
demonstration
opportunity.
We
will
not
be
at
hamcation.
I,
went
ahead
and
closed
out
our
our
reservations
and
our
booth.
At
hamcation.
B
We
probably
will
have
a
more
limited
Presence
at
qso
todayham
Expo
in
March,
because
the
theme
of
the
March
show
is
new
hands,
so
I
think
we'll
probably
step
back
a
little
bit
from
that
show
and
let
people
beginners
and
and
new
hams
I've
got
my
license
now.
What
is
essentially
the
the
theme
for
that?
We
will
have
at
least
one
or
two
presentations
at
qso
today,
ham
Expo,
that
are
good.
B
A
Ribbit
project
is
probably
going
to
show-
and
maybe
maybe
versatin
we'll
have
some
some
folks
at
at
Hamvention.
But
our
next
big
demonstration
show
will
be
at
the
radio
frequency
Village
in
in
Defcon
and
also
at
IMs
International
micro,
Society
IEEE.
We
have
an
opportunity
to
to
present
there
in
the
in
the
sort
of
the
the
main
Pavilion
for
for
demonstrations
and
also
the
the
amateur
radio
social,
so
that's
going
to
be
in
the
summer.
B
So
anyway,
that's
the
things
that
are
coming
up,
that
sort
of
provide
us
deadlines
and
opportunities
to
show
the
work.
So
I
guess
my
plan
here.
You
know
from
now
we're
kicking
off
our
our
weekly
meetings
and
and
our
weekly
reports
again
for
the
year
is
to
just
really
head
down
and
and
do
the
work
and
yeah.
You
know
then
we'll
show
yeah,
you
know
later
in
the
future,
at
at
either
IMS
or
and
or
Defcon.
B
So
that's
the
that's
the
general
outline
for
the
for
2023,
.
and
yeah,
plenty
of
of
good
support
and
good
feedback
and
additional
volunteers.
Our
our
funding
is
in
great
shape,
so
we
are
really
limited
only
by
the
usual
sorts
of
things,
time
and
yeah,
and
that's
that's-
that's
pretty
much
it.
So
we
should
have
a
very,
very
good
2023..
Thank
you
to
everybody
that
is
contributed
and
supported
and
showed
up
today,
all
right
so
I'm
going
to
turn
the
floor
back
over
to
everybody
else.
B
Any
questions
or
comments
or
information
that
we
need
to
know
about
all
right,
good
deal,
we'll
have
another
meeting
in
in
a
little
bit
in
this
half
this
afternoon,
for
by
my
time,
it'll
be
at
1400
at
2
pm,
U.S,
Pacific
and
and
we'll
we'll
meet
again
weekly
moving
moving
forward
with
the
same
schedule,
so
so
at
10,
A.M,
U.S,
Pacific
and
2
p.m,
U.S
Pacific,
and
if
we
need
to
add
any
other
meetings
to
that,
we
will
all
right.
Thank
you,
everybody.
That
concludes
our
our
meeting
for
today.
