155: Foot-Seeking Bullet

Jonathan Bradshaw spoke with us about working with hardware engineers, schematic reviews, and FPGAs.

At the end of the podcast, Jonathan made a pitch for folks to submit proposals for the IEEE Southern Power Electronics Conference in Auckland in December.

The FPGA boards Elecia mentioned were the XLR8 board and the Papillio platform (more on the latter in show #66).

By the way, The Amp Hour is our “enemy podcast” but we actually like their show quite a lot. It is a joke. But do feel free to tweet their shameless advertising tweet with the link replaced with one to our show.
