Craignell and Darnaw1 Website Updates

Main difference is the more standard 2x7 2mm JTAG and Serial Flash programming headers allowing our Prog2 cable and the Xilinx cables to be used directly with this module.

You will see how much we have crushed these modules down and now are apart for the DIL Header all components are now on a single side to improve our manufacturing process. We are testing these now but probably won't let them out on the shop website until the new programming header adaptor is available to make connection to the 1.27mm programming header a bit easier. This adaptor is expected to be available mid- January.

I sincerely appreciate the size reference in the Craignell photograph. If only I knew what the size of that coin was! Maybe a few pieces of currency from around the globe would help, looking at your customer base for ideas. I found it funny that photos with a size reference from asian countries often used a pack of cigarettes; while somewhat universal, fewer people smoke these days.

What about some sort of stick, with notches cut in it, maybe based on someone's thumb-width, or elbow-finger length ? ;)

Or you could leap a couple of millenia, and google "International System of Units length" just for fun, to see what happens.

Or, since these boards have 'ancient' derivative names, perhaps length could be given in an associated history/engineering combination of pico-furlongs ?

169 pico-light-seconds?

The acient units could be appropriate, but don't work well in a photo unless you could use ancient engineering instruments which were always the same size, perhaps a sextant or a slide rule?

Coin diameter is 25.11mm, call it an inch for imperial synplicity.

I thought Synplicity was an american firm with some R&D and support in India. It's imperial? Hmmm.... Maybe I'm over-simplifying.

Thanks for the reference.

Hi there

first of all, i appreciate your bulletins on your newest products. They are interesting indeed.

But...

size is not everything. I would appreciate either a well-defined prototyping area and certainly an RGB3 or full-RGB DAC interface to a VGA connector (i mostly work on images).

Regarding units of measurement... imperial units are fine, i tend to use the units of length/distance in my everyday life, although nobody else does so here (Greece). Since imperial (length) units have been modelled based on human body measures.

But i'm mostly fond of Biblical units. Especially cubits (there are ancient Greek, Egyptian, Hebrew variations and so on). I suggest measurements in cubits from now on.

Just my 2c Kind regards Nikolaos Kavvadias
