Mini-Mig Bill of Materials

[Dennis]

I have uploaded the original BOM to the download section on my site. You can download it here.
Also, I have added a second page with some clarifications to the BOM here.

Dennis, In addition to the Farnell part number for the Max232/SO16, Digikey 296-6936-5-ND

That part is not suitable for the Minimig. It is a 5V only part. You'll need a MAX232 (or clone) that is specified to operate at 3.3V with 0.1uF caps.

Does anyone have any idea if:

http://www.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail?name=122-1520-ND

is compatible (no changes to the rev1.1 pcb) with 122-1519-ND?
If it is just a matter of recompiling the core and maybe adjust it a little bit it might actually be worth it...

No, that part is not compatible!! The Spartan 3E is not pin compatible to the classic Spartan 3.

I have updated my website with binary versions of the PIC code and the FPGA core. Also, I have put up some building tips.
