Dec 28 11:14:40 <lennert> anyone here ever tried 'exporting' an fpga board?  how did that go?
Dec 28 11:15:00 <lennert> i'm kind of wondering whether customs will freak out when they see a bare pcb full of smd components and stuff
Dec 28 11:16:47 <vmaster> from/to where do you want to send it?
Dec 28 11:17:46 <lennert> i want to take it with me on holiday :D
Dec 28 11:17:56 <vmaster> looool
Dec 28 11:17:56 <lennert> from netherlands to lithuania (all .eu)
Dec 28 11:18:20 <lennert> we're leaving tonight :)
Dec 28 11:18:24 <vmaster> heh, put a small speaker on it, and make it play "tick"
Dec 28 11:18:34 <lennert> haha
Dec 28 11:18:54 <lennert> and make the display count down from 29:99 to 00:00 and then go beep beep beep
Dec 28 11:19:09 <lennert> and then say "no, really, it's harmless!"
Dec 28 11:19:36 <vmaster> well, i don't think anyone ever wanted to take his fpga board on holidays
Dec 28 11:19:47 <lennert> yeah.. so it'll look weird, huh
Dec 28 11:20:00 <lennert> kind of afraid they'll take it because they don't know what it is
Dec 28 11:20:24 <vmaster> heh, at least you're not going to the states
Dec 28 11:20:29 <lennert> it's not something mundane, like, say, a dildo or something
Dec 28 11:20:33 <lennert> true
Dec 28 11:21:07 <vmaster> ask at the check-in, and put it in a locker if they don't like it?
Dec 28 11:21:53 <vmaster> well, chances are you're not going anywhere if you put a bare pcb in a locker at the airport :)
Dec 28 11:29:21 <lennert> hehe
Dec 28 11:29:30 <lennert> well, i just put it back into the box where it came in
Dec 28 11:29:39 <lennert> a few layers of bubble foam and plasti
Dec 28 11:29:52 <lennert> i'll just put it in my check-in luggage like that.. see what happens
Dec 28 11:36:02 <lennert> to scare them a bit more i'll take my bluetooth gadgets
Dec 28 11:36:11 <lennert> bluetooth headset and such
Dec 28 19:29:09 <lennert> you can kind of glean some info on ieee 1532 from the 1532 .bsdl files included with xilinx webpack/ise
Dec 28 22:39:18 <ka6sox> sweeet'
