Hi guys, So i got all my components and boards ready for my shuriken v3 build! The problem i'm having is the lining up of the stencil i bought with the board itself, i've done smd work before but not with the kind of fine pitch that this has so i thought a stencil was necessary... And when i do give...

I guess that figures really, anyway Thanks for all the help dude!

I see, so would I be right to say that as i am using the xc3S200a which supports the OSD I need the Pad snoop, but say i was using the xc3S50 i wouldn't as it doesnt support OSD. So the FPGA will write to the SPI flash when I program it, then is there a reason why on the shuriken site he writes dire...

Just a few more things, After reading about ive confirmed that i can swap in the xc3S200a over the xc3S50 in the shuriken v3, however I'm puzzled on a few more things (the more i read the more i get confused :/ ) 1 . What is a "Pad snoop input" ? 2 . As the shuriken video uses a M25P40 as ...

Ah nice, thats makes alot of sense, Thank you
