[hpsdr] [ATLAS] - Watch the TOES!, (was proposed physical bus/pcb design 03March2006)

Excellent on the document of projects. I suggested to Don in a PM that he
include FPGA in the banner line on the website, and give a short description
of each project in paragraphs immediately following the banner. That way we
get Google hits on FPGA as well as HPSDR, and also put the objectives right
up at the top of the page. Non-Ham FPGA folks are certainly welcome!

(Sounds like a job for Ken - N9VV! (smile)) 

Thanks
Eric

Hi Eric, group,

I know that I took up the task of getting the Atlas bus spec'd out and
I did not mean to step on any toes.  If someone wants to become
responsible for the Atlas design I would be glad to turn over
everything to that person.   I jumped in because I wanted to get the
Atlas tied down so I can turn my attention to the Mercury board.  I am
sure that Phil H and Bill would like to finally define the pin out of
the Janus board also.

I hope that the HPSDR project continues to be a community project with
many people contributing.

To all: if there is something you don't like about the Atlas design
PLEASE speak up!  If you'd like to be the person heading up the Atlas
- PLEASE feel free to jump in!  Otherwise I will continue to be
responsible for the Atlas by default - then I will move on to the
Mercury design.

I *do* appreciate all the comments and suggestion so far.

I am somewhat concerned that we have not heard from Bill (Janus) or
Leon (Lionheart) yet.  Guys, any comments/suggestions on the Atlas
design?

Unless someone volunteers, I will write up a document describing the
progress so far and what the names Atlas, Janus, Lionheart, and
Mercury mean for newcomers to the group.
