We have been encouraged to spend some of our remaining training budget by taking a week-long seminar in September. I am looking for something concerning FPGA design, wireless networks, or just general engineering. My preference would be somewhere in southern California, but other places may be negotiable. Any suggestions?
September training?

We can look into interfacing portable instruments with Micro/Avr (always on) to FPGA/Xilinx (on and off), including issues such as power regulations and monitorings, battery chargings, programmings and debuggings. If time permitted, board layouts and mountings (Micro-lead frames and Ball Grid Arrays).

For a price, I can give you a week-long seminar in just about anything you want to study! Good Luck! Rich

Like, does Customs pat you down or use dogs or anything? Or do they just assume that anyone who can afford a week-long cruise has better things to smuggle than pot? ;-) Thanks! Rich

They don't want you to sink the ship or bring in foreign plants (fruits and pot included) to the state.> > Thanks! > Rich
