Jon I ordered some QSE159's to use as detectors and some ir leds for generating turn on. I have an FPGA board and some arduino's to try for the control logic. One question. If an FPGA can be used for the control logic, couldn't the FPGA on the Mesa card be programmed to include this? I do think initially this should be done separately until everything is well understood, but it just doesn't appear that should be very complicated in FPGA terms.
