You don’t have to do combined order. Just drop an email that you want to order 10 pieces with each board shipped to certain place. Only transportation cost will apply.

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 <npise...@gmail.com<mailto:npise...@gmail.com>> wrote: I was about to email out for quotes from Creotech and Technosystem for the FMC -> VHCDI boards.

Re: [ARTIQ] ARTIQ Digest, Vol 34, Issue 3
It is compatible with VHDCI carrier - I used the same pinout. I have 2 pieces in lab to do tests. Moreover, to do quick tests I designed another simple adapter that converts TTL to LVDS. Sources are here: https://github.com/m-labs/sinara/tree/master/ARTIQ_ALTIUM/Kasli/3U/PCB_3U_Tester. Can be used as yet another 3U module with TTL ribbon cable. I will order ADI devkits and simply solder SPI signals via this converter to test new boards with ADI software and SPI interfaces. In this way we can quickly test boards and do measurements.
