Hi everyone,

Just thought I'd mention that another CVS has been born today.  I
built my CVS as a 12" wide frac module (only 3.5" deep, though!).  I'm
quite happy with the design, and I'll post some pictures in a couple
of weeks when the last couple of parts have been put in place : )

So far, my only trouble has been getting the IDE to communicate with
the AtomPRO.  I'm a Mac laptop user, so between the requisite
USB-to-Serial converter, and the Windows-on-a-Mac ordeal, I've only
found one combination of port settings that are able to talk to the
Atom, and even that works only 1 time in 10 at best : {  On the bright
side, it will eventually agree to program my chip.  (Just to note: I'm
using the USB-RS232 converter from SparkFun Electronics - it uses a
Prolific PL2303.  I've just ordered Parallax's FTDI-based converter to
see if I have better luck with it.)

Next step: Analyzing the code in the Files section, and figuring out
how to write my first program (a gate delay with voltage-controlled
delay time and gate length).

Thanks so much to Dave and John and everyone else who made this
project happen!  I hope we hear from more people out there who have
completed theirs, and get some new code written!

Cheers,
Kevin
