Hello All,

 

 I think I was invited here by Robert McGwier. I would like to say hello to all of you, and Happy New Year.

 

 I am David Goncalves (W1EUJ), I live in Lexington, MA, have had some experience in working on a satellite project (RAFT),

and work by day as an electrical engineer designing hardware for heart support/replacement devices. I work currently with FPGAs (using VHDL) for backup control of pneumatically driven blood pumps. I think my skills might be of use here.

 

 In particular, I offered to help with the PWM control, and possibly other tasks. I did get an education in LTI systems, DSP and digital design from Northeastern University, from which I graduated in 2004, so the topics here are not new to me. I understand that the Xilinx Spartan (I hope I have that right) is being used here, and I can start by getting familair with that hardware.

 

 Robert, as I came on to help you, I await your 'command'. To anybody and everybody else, if there is documentation that I should go read, point the way, and also good luck in your endeavors.
