Neal, If we can bulk the order, that should bring the price down a little. Talking to the accounts people here, it sounds like it is "nearly impossible" to bill groups outside UMD (ie, to put 10x boards on a single PO through UMD, then re-arrange monies afterwards), but hopefully either of those companies will quote us with the assumption/promise that each group will pay for their quantity separately…?
Thanks for the offer, but I’ve already ordered a batch of the PCBs from Itead Studio, with the intention of populating them ourselves. We have a decent oven here, which we’ve used for FMCs before without problems. Given how simple this board is compared to the average university finance system, my bet is that assembling a couple of them will take less time than arranging a joint purchasing agreement… T On 15 Mar 2017, at 20:36, Neal Pisenti <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: I was about to email out for quotes from Creotech and Technosystem for the FMC -> VHCDI boards. It sounds like Joe wants ~2x, we want 2x, and @Tom, I'm guessing you guys want at least 2x as well... that puts us in the qty 6-10 range.

So we can test whole setup in the lab quickly. You can help us with simple HDL design for KC705 that i.e. toggles IOs or makes loopback: ttl->lvds->VHDCI-> FPGA-> VHDCI->lvds->TTL. At the moment we are so occupied with other tasks that every help is very valuable.

In that case, we'll have a few of these made up, and plan to use them with the KC705 + VHDCI carrier as a short-term solution. -----Original Message----- From: ARTIQ [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] On Behalf Of Thomas Harty via ARTIQ Sent: Friday, March 10, 2017 12:56 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: [ARTIQ] ARTIQ Digest, Vol 34, Issue 3 > ..., and we might spin up some in-house boards for multichannel DAC over SPI. FYI, the Zotino and Novogorny DAC/ADC EEMs are now funded (Oxford/Freiburg) and being designed by WUT. They should be ready in ~12weeks. We're planning to contract M-Labs to provide full support for them.
