If you had a Altera Cyclone IV Dev Kit, what would you build?

Hi,

 

As mentioned in the RoadTest for the DK-STRT-4CGX15N-0B Dev kit, we would like you to tell us what you would build if you had the opportunity. When the RoadTest closes I will choose a short list and create a poll for you to vote in. Winners of the poll will receive the kits,

 

Good Luck,

Ally

    Howdy,

     

    Having reviewed Altrea's documents for the DK-Starter-4CGX15N, I'm not sure this falls under the category of a development kit or system.  Altrea calls it a starter kit and it may be hard to stretch it into a semi-functioning project.  That aside, Altrea does make some very good educational kit (as well as dev kits) and this may be another one.  It would be interesting to review it on that basis alone.

     

    FYI:  Maybe I'm just confused, but this kit does not include any wireless interface.  The transceiver interface is through either an Ethernet port or a pair of low voltage differential (LVD) ports.

    Hi Gordon,

     

    Looks like you are 100% correct, you'd need a bridge/module/modem for wireless. I'm not going to make any promises, but lets just see how things go and if there's anything we can do after the winner has been chosen by the group image

     

    To be honest, i think everyone is taking the competition a bit seriously. It is only intended as a bit of fun
