Simon Jolly, Raffaella Radogna, Saad Shaikh, Fern Pannell

Discussed results about October 23rd data
Presented slides showing results (updated version)
Presentation sent to Ruben asking for discussion
Planned next experimental run at UCL on Friday Nov. 13th
Will ask Innovation and Enterprise to extend the fellowship and to use money to buy a DAQ computer

Using last couple of switches on Nexys video to select between 4 integration times, which are chosen at compile-time.
Continuing work on USB interface using Nexys Video FTDI chip:
- Can see data coming through – but timing isn't quite right. Need to figure out how to prompt DAQ when data is written into FIFO.
- Need to fix ILA issue when trying to monitor FTDI chip signals.
Loading .bit files on Nexys video does not work with USB or SD card. Unsure why this is and Matt Warren had no further suggestions either.
Will continue testing DDC232 boards with Raffy.
