Today a TNT-van unexpecededly parked outside my house.
It turned out to be the brand new STEM-14 diagnostics kit from Red Pitaya which had arrived. We didn't even know it was shipped.
Anyway, this card is thought to be the main controller for the motor drive. It features a dual ARM A9 processor with a FPGA chip and four 14 bit analog to digital converters and digital in/outputs.
The complete specs are listed at the bottom of this blogpost.
In a few days I will make another blog post and an initial review of the board and its "getting starting"-procedure.
the Red Pitaya STEM-board It is *really* tiny.
The diagnostics kit contains two measurement probes (60 Mhz), a 4 GB memory card and two adapters (SMA to BNC).
