Hello Andrew No problem. I soldered some BGA's für german builders. If you like, I can do it for you. You can send me the boards and BGA (or I take them from here). You can write me also an email,

Hi Reto, Thanks for all the tips, and okay about where to buy the fpga, I agree its very important to get a genuine part as you point out. Okay about buying a reflow oven I will look into that. Maybe

Hello, Davide. I am not sure, but I think for some pd85004 4 Volts would be not enough to reach 125mA current. They are have very different required bias voltage.

Ps. I am not sure that using FVR is fine in every situation so suggestions/comments are welcome :)

With re-calibrate I mean changing the 10K trimmer value placed near the two PD85004s. This is necessary, to answer David's question, because I am not using RA2 as digital output but as DACOUT with

Reto, good question ! I would like to know how a firmware determines different voltage of logic 1 on the same output port . Very interesting.

Hello Davide, Thanks for making your project availlable to the community!! I have a question for the mcu compilation. You wrote: ** Notes - when you flash this firmware over N7DDC you need to

Hello David, Now I had success to install Python 2.7.x on my Windows 10 PC. I also can start Bootloader 2.1 and the test is scessfully. (Device with specified IP Address was found in....) But I can't

Hello Andrew I had also panic to solder the FPGA. We discused it in a german board and there are several ideas how to do that. I think there are two possibilities. First: I think its no good idea to

Hi Reto, Great to hear about your journey building the Ody2 and that its working well. Fantastic work! I have three boards here that I bought a while ago that I would like to build for myself and two

Hello, Reto and Robson 25 Celsius and lite rain in Seattle area, evergreen Washington state :)))

Hello, Reto. My congrats. I was pretty skeptical with your "soldering in oven" idea but it works as I see . I am assembling Sparrow 4 now, will think how to do DDC inside ;)

Hello Rob I kknow, 44 degrees c are very hot. But here are 33 also terrible because of high humidity... 😉 I was several times in the USA, in about 25 states, also Texas, most time in California,

Reto, 33 celsius is a nice breeze down here in Texas where nowadays the temperature is climbing around 44 :) Good to know your BGA soldering was successful in the first try. 73, Rob

Hi Rob, At the moment I tested thetis on the notebook under windows. Works well now. Also both receiving paths. So i'm sure now, that the solderwork is fine. I only had one little bug on a resistor

Hi David, I found it in de VAC settings. NOw I have sound on the PC. The onboard sound i'll test next week. Also the second RX path I cound acivate in Thetis. And also the second path works very

Hello, Reto . You have audio, in HP connector on the board . If you want to listen audio trough your PC, use VAC settings.

Hi Davide, Congratulations to share with us your great job!! It is amazing to see this protect is still alive and growing up with new functions. Many thanks to you and to David (N7DDC) Josu

thank you sir. No. Some parts are the same of Angelia/Anan100D board [1] (like RX) the others can be quite easily followed with the Spring Layout software. Maybe Altium can create schematics from a

Hi Davide Gerhard, Thanks for putting together this excellent GIT repository. Quite amazing!! This will be a great reference when building and testing this project. Have you considered documenting
