Hi Lloyd,
As others had had problems with the soldering on the FPGA board, I scrutinised it under a lens when I first got it. I couldn't see anything wrong and the soldering actually looked pretty good.

Are you hoping to get the connectors for yours this week?

I've just taken some pictures to try and show the problem. You can see the effect if you look at the uniforms, especially picture No3. There should be lots of shades of grey rather then just one!

The same picture viewed on the Aurora looks as it should do.

You can also see the background noise in the second picture.

Cheers
Nick
