Minutes for UCL Proton Calorimetry Meetings, 1st July

Simon Jolly, Laurent Kelleter, Saad Shaikh, Raffaella Radogna, Fern Pannell

Seem to be making good progress on code for communicating FPGA with DDC232: developing from scratch in VHDL using DDC232 datasheet guidelines.
- Currently debugging so that code compiles on Vivado.
- Will need to develop a 'test bench' to test code in simulation before trying it out on hardware.
- Need to debug UART interface project and figure out how to send data received from DDC232 to computer through UART.
  - UART is probably only fast enough to support integration time of about 750 us. Will need to investigate other methods of data retrieval down the line.

Discussed with Raffy and Simon the final list of measurements that Simon will take in 30' on July 2nd at 15.30
