\r
99 <td style="border:1px solid black;"><p>Geiger cape is a working design that registers radiation counts from background sources and test sources. BOM cost for the Geiger Cape is well under $60 if you exclude any fancy geiger tubes or bring your own. Everyone in this project contributions:</p>
\r
101 <li>Matt Ranostay - QA Tester/HW reworker,
\r
102 backup HW design, demo
\r
103 application design, Presentation
\r
104 Giver at ELCE 2012</li>
\r
105 <li>Pantelis Antoniou (TI Consultant) - Capebus
\r
106 support added for Geiger Cape</li>
\r
107 <li>Dimitris Sapountzakis - Primary hardware design</li>
\r
109 <p>There are few board erratas that exist. These mostly have to with protecting users from toasting the beaglebone, and some package sizing. But this is a completely working design with multiple geiger tubes.</p>

\r
119 <td style="border:1px solid black;">The FPGA LOGI-BONE is a high performance low cost FPGA expansion board specifically designed to interface with the BeagleBone as an FPGA cape. The LOGI-BONE meets the requirements of being low cost while maintaining maximum performance. The LOGI-BONE facilitates maximum expansion using standardized interfaces including PMOD modules, SATA devices and Arduino Shields to allow direct plug and play functionality with a diverse amount of available hardware. The PCB was designed using a 4 layer PCB with utmost care taken to length tune and impedance control critical high speed signals. The LOGI-BONE has versatile programming options making it easy to design and program custom FPGA applications.</td>
