Backer #692 checking in, not a clue what I'm going to do with them but they're here!

Recieved mine today, soldered up the pins and connected to Raspberry Pi now 🙂 Already got blinky in and diving into the projects/wiki now. Thanks Moco Makers

I was really looking forward to try to finally get my head around FPGAs... I've been designing pocket synths for a while now and its been intriguing me whether it is feasible to emulate IIR filters with this technology instead of MCU, making it more stable and possibly working with higher sample rate.

I've always wanted to learn about FPGAs, but they just seem out of reach, and there is a barrier to entry at the cost of most boards. Even some of the more reasonable priced boards seem like they have a steep learning curve to them. Your price at $10.00 and a very reasonable shipping cost, made me think finally I can learn about these and not feel bad if I don't get it. Thank You.

Backer #472 here. My Fipsy arrived today in Minnesota, USA. Can't wait to get started!
