@w3ipa Who manufactures the antenna? Looks neat.

@planet4589 Well the bigger mass will keep it up for longer, but will mean it will need more power to keep attitude control which implies it needs a large solar panel (lots of drag) or mainly contains batteries.....

@ROGAstronomers It was launched in 1977 - so yesterday was the 46th (or maybe 47th....) anniversary?

@RussInCheshire How about Taylor Swift with VP of Michelle Obama? They would prolly get a few votes....

hi @amazonDE I ordered some things from you last week - everything was in stock. Today, (like every day since), you say every item is in stock. And yet you say delivery is between Sept. and December. So your web pages lie?

[Matt Nottingham @Matt___Nott]

@gm8arv Sadly just a single (RF) channel.

[Matt Nottingham @Matt___Nott]

@SipeedIO Multichannel ADC (JESD-204x) to 10G (or higher) ethernet capture device. How many SERDES? What's there max speed?

[Matt Nottingham @Matt___Nott]

@ESA_EO @CopernicusEU Looks fun! You say 'microwave' - what is the actual frequency range this instrument will measure over? (X to V band?...)

[Matt Nottingham @Matt___Nott]

@GOWIN_SEMI Well intel are doing 64Gs/s with 8 channels, so 200MS/s is low end.

[Matt Nottingham @Matt___Nott]

Hi @GOWIN_SEMI - any plans to make a low end RFSoC/DiectRF like product? (like 8 channels of 200Ms/s ADC/DAC)

[Matt Nottingham @Matt___Nott]

@SipeedIO That looks cool. But what I'd like to see is a data acquisition 'dock' for the Tang Mega 138k SoC. Something like quad channel ADC with >150Msamples/s/channel and output onto a pair of 10G ethernet.

@planet4589 @JAXA_jp Its a bit better than the ones I got from TTM (on Mir)!....

@devnulling @ibelings @ssshocker Ponders a cheap plastic bucket.....

@coastal8049 ZX-81!

@theAliceRoberts @AdamRutherford Brave Sir Robin! err, I mean, Brave Prof Alice....

[Matt Nottingham @Matt___Nott]

@jkpritch This may be of interest to you @AdamRutherford if you're not already aware of it.

@nand2mario @ico_TC @JLCPCB Out of curiosity, would #usb_hid_host work with touch screens? I kinda assume they're similar to a mouse but absolute rather than relative positions. If I get a moment I'll try with my ULX3S and 17cm HDMI/touchscreen.

[Matt Nottingham @Matt___Nott]

@rfnotmagic Would the ADCs be on the daughterboard or on the motherboard? (Just thinking how much fast ADCs still cost)

[Matt Nottingham @Matt___Nott]

@daveake Does this count as 'thinking inside the box'? 😀
