I received my kit this morning, and have connected it up with the just the Mixed-Signal SliceCARD and XTAG2 plugged onto the xCORE-Analog core board. I'd like to try the thing out, but there don't seem to be any software examples available when I click on the Documentation and Downloads button; just a couple of documents. Where are the examples?
I've just found a couple under XCORE-ANALOG in xSOFTip. I'll try the PWM DAC to ADC analog loopback example tomorrow.

So.. I have a problem. This is, if I order the kit via the link provided, I cannot add anything else to my cart in digikey and I have to pay $100 for UPS delivery. Otherw lise, at 199 i get free delivery from digikey and I can put another stuff along with my order. Is there any workaround about this?

Strange! I had no problems getting it for $110 via the provided link and I got free delivery. I did have to pay about £28 duty and handling charge to UPS. I had to use the provided link, I tried my own account and the cost would have been $199.

Is it sure that it is free delivery? I'm in mainland Europe and charges may vary. I'm not sure because I shop from Digikey through my broker that organizes larger orders and handles duties for me. But the broker couldn't tell me for sure how delivery is charged.leon_heller wrote:Strange! I had no problems getting it for $110 via the provided link and I got free delivery.

Shipping with Digi-Key for me is free for purchases I make over £50.
I checked the invoice and there was definitely no shipping charge, although it didn't go through my usual account.

I see that you are in Bulgaria. I suppose that shipping there costs a lot more than to the UK.
Only just seen this, sorry. I'll get onto Digikey for you and see if there's anything that they can do.
Just closing this now as this offer ended on the 1st July.
