Updates section:

Today we worked on finishing and testing all of the boards destined for the purple monitor. Exact results are shown below. Some boards will require intensive debugging, while others are completely ready to go.

New Boards for Purple Monitor

  Note: None of the boards in this section have their own heat sinks yet. Heat sinks have been ordered and will be cut, drilled, and installed as soon as they arrive. Testing is being done by swapping the heat sink from the D board onto the ones we are currently testing. This involves the re-application of thermal paste, so more will have to be ordered soon.

Board 1

This board recently finished being constructed. Testing with the gold monitor indicates that all three channels on the board are fully operational. Tested: 7/9/15

Board 2

Construction is completed on this board. Testing shows that all channels have are not outputting correctly. In other words, this board is completely broken and needs to be debugged. We also noticed the HELA-10s getting incredibly hot on this board. Another note is that the board may not have been fully connected while testing, leading to the faulty result. Tested: 7/9/15

Board 3

Construction on this board was recently completed. Testing reveals that the red and green channels are working perfectly, while the blue channel is not displaying properly. The problem may be just as simple as a faulty connector on this board, as the output does appear to be fuzzier when the DVI cable is plugged in. The fuzz seems to loosely suggest the shape of letters. Tested: 7/9/15

Board 4

Construction of this board has been fully completed. Testing indicates that the red channel is non-operational, the green channel is operational but it displays a different section of the image than all other tested cards do and has strange uniform vertical artifacts, the blue channel is not fully operational as an area that appears to have the shape of really fuzzy letters does appear, however they are so fuzzy they are unreadable, looking more like SFS than FOX. Tested: 7/9/15

Board 5

Construction on this board has been completed, with the exception of the heat sink. No testing has been done on this board yet.

Board 6

Construction on this board has been completed, with the exception of the heat sink. No testing has been done on this board yet.
