So yesterday evening I finally got the wire cutter parts re-machined and reassembled, but today was a maintenance day for hosting and stuff around the shop. So very little progress. We've had the protoCompac mining on the 1Burger at Eligius at 125MHz (about 6.8GH) for the last 24 hours without any problems. I have noted the chip doesn't like to start below 0.65V, which might help explain what some people were seeing with S5 undervolt testing. That's about 10V across an S5 board. I'll probably change up the regulator voltage range to start about 625mV and run up to about 800mV.

I'm working on using the RF pin to trigger sent-share LED like on the U1/U2 but having no luck. The flag is pulsing with a short-enough duration that persistence of vision keeps me from seeing an LED change with the setup we have. I can make it work with a one-shot circuit but it'll take some extra dev time and a bit more board space. Hopefully I can keep things simple. Having a flashing sent-share LED is way better than not having a flashing sent-share LED.

I'll probably be on Compac all day tomorrow. Hopefully I can get enough ironed out that we'll be sending off for actual prototype PCBs early next week.

Also, tomorrow is Friday which means Cheeseburger Day. So I won't actually be working all day. Gotta make time for sammiches.
