Calling all VHDL hackers, we can use help on the OLS project.
In order to try to foster a fun environment where people can come and help us hack away at the Sump Logic Analyzer code we have recorded a screencast for one of the outstanding tracker items we have. We are trying to create a single bitstream that can dynamically change its memory configuration based on…

PIC Cocoon 1 prototypes do well
PIC Cocoon v1.0 prototypes are being tested. Initial tests with basic code, flashing LEDs in different patterns and reading switches on a LED/Button Wing on each headers did well. Next is testing the 1-axis and 2-axis Stepper motor Wings and customizing the USB bootloader for this Cocoon. Also in works are a slightly bigger version…
