SAM FPGA: Does anyone have any interesting ideas.
« on: September 25, 2008, 01:56:01 AM »
With the SAM Mobo now available with OS4.1 I was wondering:

Has anyone thought about projects to use the onboard FPGA? :inquisitive:

I seem to recall someone asking about the Natami's "Super AGA" with regard to the SAM board on the Natami forums. Sadly I think it was too big. Shame if that's the case (and I'm sure it is), it would have been interesting. Still, I'm glad to see some good feedback here. Thanks to all and special thanks to RedskullDC for the links.

How about an FPGA SID ? That could be fun.

One thing I'd love to see would be an Azimuth mount controller that worked with Digital Universe from syzygy.

To quote from the syzygy website:
"Digital Universe will not have an official Arexx port until version 2 but there is an undocumented experimental Arexx port to see if things work. This grab shows some Arexx commands controlling DU. A screen grab cannot show much but using Arexx to Zoom in and out of the view works quite well. A simple demonstration Arexx script will be included with DU1.5. A fully featured Arexx command set will be left until version 2"  :-D

Arexx plug-in - FPGA controller - sounds plausible.
