I’m logging this time as “documentation.” Single biggest get from today’s debugging- learning that you can import pin assignments from other projects. It’s not in the pin planner gui, but under assignments right about hyeah: Been looking for that in the wrong place for ages. Also got the predictor working; predictor gave us two insights:–…More

Each place at the table has a locked box controlled by the FPGA.
