[hpsdr] Will CYCLOPS work with HERMES....?

[Rod Wall]

Hi Phil,

Thanks for your reply, OK on the limitations etc. It would be great if 
Hermes was able to be used with Cyclops, as that would mean that one could 
purchase a Hermes and Cyclops boards and we would have three items. A 
transceiver, a Spectrum Analyser and a VNA to check your antenna. That's 
great value.

Thanks all,

Roderick Wall, vk3yc.

Hi Rod,

A little early to make that call. There are 3 spare I/O lines on Hermes in
addition to the PTT and Open Collector outputs so it may be possible.

It really depends on how many control lines will be need for the various
chips on the Cyclops board.

We do intend to include a tracking generator on Cyclops and use this as the
drive signal for a VNA.

One thing for sure, Cyclops will not be supported via Ozy (not enough spare
room in the FPGA)  so if you are a potential candidate for a Cyclops board
then that is a good reason to move to Metis.

Hi all,

I've just been listening to the latest Teamspeak, CYCLOPS sounds very
interesting. I know CYCLOPS is still under development but I have a
question. Is it planned that CYCLOPS will also work with HERMES as well as
MERCURY.

A transceiver, Spectrum Analyser and VNA using HERMES and CYCLOPS would be
great. That is if CYCLOPS is also able to include a VNA.

Regards,
