22:18 <azonenberg> Ok so i've been busy doing lab organization/cabinetry upgrades etc the last couple of days. No new hardware, although some of the diffprobe stuff should be here any day now

22:18 <azonenberg> and the AKL-PT2 clips are expected to come sunday

22:19 <azonenberg> david.lenfesty: how goes the active probe interface stuff?

23:32 <d1b2> <david.lenfesty> probably going to finish final schematic tweaks tonight, finish all the footprint associations and do the checklist.

23:33 <d1b2> <david.lenfesty> I've started a vivado project and wrote a constraints file, minus the timing constraints. Mostly need to properly define the USB state machine then I can get going there.

23:33 <d1b2> <david.lenfesty> I can use your antikernel cores for like 80% of the work which is convenient :p

23:34 <d1b2> <david.lenfesty> planning on doing a simple register interface for SPI and just exposing a simplified UART peripheral over that same interface, so all the protocol stuff can be handled by the MCU

23:35 <azonenberg> Great. and yeah i want the fpga to basically just be glue

23:35 <azonenberg> Let me know if you need anything on my end

23:36 <d1b2> <david.lenfesty> I should be pretty good. this is a fairly constrained project

23:36 <azonenberg> Yeah that was the idea. I prefer to delegate work that is relatively self contained

23:37 <azonenberg> IMO the best kind of teamwork involves splitting up the problem into well defined chunks that can be handled by one person with minimal interaction with, or dependency on, other team members

23:38 <azonenberg> Because that avoids getting communication bound or creating bottlenecks where one person is waiting for another's results

23:38 <azonenberg> obviously this isn't always possible

23:38 <d1b2> <david.lenfesty> tell me about it.

23:38 <d1b2> <david.lenfesty> leading student clubs with new people is fun

23:38 <d1b2> <david.lenfesty> see: dwarf fortress wiki fun

23:38 <azonenberg> lol
