Eric and Ben have done some amazing work to get the payload interface module (PIM) and the instrument data processing unit (IDPU) up and running. The photo to the left below shows our prototype IDPU and PIM modules and a payload simulator taking and storing data. Ben has worked hard to overcome several timing issues with the FPGA on the PIM. Eric's IDPU board arrived this week and is currently undergoing board stuffing and system testing. You can see the processor evaluation board in the top right. It is much too large for a Cubesat. Eric condensed the necessary components into the small Cubesat-compatible board. Great job Ben and Eric!
