I will take a look at the email reflector, but your messages are getting through OK as far as I can make out.<br>
<br>
Personally, yes, an FPGA evening would be most interesting, and there should be little problem securing the BR05 clubroom for an evening.<br>
<br>
Several of us have bought DE0-nano boards. I also have a DE0-SOC (ARM9 + FPGA), which needs to get dusted down.<br>
<br>
Probably need to get those interested to bring their own laptops with Quartus installed; Steve, can you furnish us with a list of prerequisites (and versions) otherwise we will spend the evening getting PCs configured.<br>
<br>
BR05 has three win7 machines, and a couple of win7 notebooks/external 22" LCDs available, so maybe five seats. What sorts of number are you hoping for ?<br>
<br>
Who else in the group would be interested in an FPGA evening ? -- please register interest here.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>

Hi All,<br>
<br>
I have supported the Altera FPGA in Australia and New Zealand for the last 17 years - I head up the technical support for Braemac supporting Altera.<br>
<br>
I can run a hands on session one evening if enough folks are interested ? I have some dev kits I can bring to run a processor, flash LED's etc... if that would be useful / handy?<br>
<br>
I am currently working on BLDC control with FPGA directly to measure the BEMF with the LVDS inputs (Cyclone 3) - of course FET bridges to drive the windings, got the motor to 65,000 RPM... have torn that demo down now re-doing with MAX10<br>
<br>
I didn't want this to be a platform to sell, but if enough are interested I am happy to impart -I speak Verilog / System Verilog as my first language - and VHDL at a pinch.<br>
<br>
Steve.<br>
