Hello Everyone I bought a a joblot of electronics a while back and got this unknown board with it Pictures Here but i am unable to find anything online about it. It has a Xilinx Spartan V XCS30XL FPGA onboard (XILINX-SPARTAN-V-XCS30XL Datasheet), 4 LMD18201 3A 55v H-Bridges, 4 DB9 ports 2 male 2 female and a wealth of other components. it looks like some kind of motor development board and has motion control node written on it I was thinking i might find some use for it on some kind of CNC Project or even for just learning about FPGA`s but I dont want to try an power it up via the LM323T Voltage Regulator until i have a better idea of how to use the board. Any ideas and help will be much appreciated if you would like any other pictures from different angles let me know and i will try to answer any questions and do any tests i can. Thanks Mick
First I have to say gota love the spam hammer it just slapped me right round the chops for posting a profile :) that will teach me for not reading the terms and stuff first.
Apart from that just wanted to say hi thought I better sign up as I have finally just purchased a Bus Pirate and Open Logic Sniffer and I am sure I will be needing help at some point also I have been loving the videos from the geek tour.
I am also looking for any UK hackers who are preferably as close to Hartlepool in the North East England as possible to maybe work together on projects and share ideas.
I am currently working on my second CNC mill the first was made from an old TV cabinet and was very under powered but i learnt a lot building it hopefully this one will be a workable machine. I love making and hacking things and just like many other people the list of things I want to learn and build is an ever growing list.
well that enough about me for now and respect where it is due Ian and your team have built an awesome community here and thanks for some great well priced products. Mick
