neslekkim Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 This looks like an cool project: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1106670630/mojo-digital-design-for-the-hobbyist Spartan6 lx9, flash, and Atmega168a (upgraded to atmega16u4 if stretchgoal is reached) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Gassett Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Wow, I love to see other FPGA boards like this, it looks like they have done well on Kickstarter. I never quite understand why some projects take off and some barely make it on Kickstarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Yeah it's a shame your kickstarter campaign didn't do better. I wonder if it was lack of exposure/advertising? Not sure. Perhaps try again with a future revision or product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neslekkim Posted March 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 For me it's just plain luck when I find these things, didn't find this advertised either, and the two from Jack I found after they where done... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neslekkim Posted March 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 check the comment from Sho9h here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1106670630/mojo-digital-design-for-the-hobbyist/comments This project may be of interest to Mojo backers: fpga-tools ( https://github.com/Wolfgang-Spraul/fpgatools ), an open source FPGA toolchain in the early stages of development. At the moment, only one FPGA chip is supported, the Spartan 6 XC6SLX9 - exactly the one on the Mojo board!See also this presentation: "How to Build an Open Source FPGA Toolchain", by Sébastien Bourdeauducq, http://lekernel.net/fpga_toolchain_talk.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markhud Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Curious what is was that Sho9h said (that comment apparently expired). My un-schooled opinion about Mojo's successful campaign is that it was because their board is a slick black color. Seriously. Also, a lot has happened in the intervening two years since http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/13588168/papilio-fpga-shield-for-arduino/ Jack should try again. Especially if he could get a design consultant to help make it look sexier. check the comment from Sho9h here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1106670630/mojo-digital-design-for-the-hobbyist/comments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Gassett Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Hmmm, that is a valid point. Maybe I should put more time into color scheme and adding some cool silkscreen graphics on my next project. I'm glad you pointed that out, its easy to overlook, I'm usually more concerned with the functionality when I'm designing. Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
