So I'm working with Zedboard and FMCOMMS3 and it's working well. But I need to add more to this system and I'm wondering whether to stay with this combo or move on given that ZedBoard is a bit old and FMCOMMS3 is too

I have a few options, but wanted to get the opinion of the experienced people here. Looking to keep the cost to <$5k. FMC is needed so many of the boards currently more targeted towards hobby won't work.

Most of the work is wireless related, but I think FMCOMMS5 isn't really necessary

It would be nice to be able to do 80MHz for full 2.4GHz capture in one shot

I found some low cost $400 boards for AD9371

May be worth trying

Anyone has a recommendation? Just looking to get the most bang for my buck

Somewhat new to product photography but I have a problem I'm sure many have run into

I'm trying to take pictures (and video) of a circuit board with an LCD screen (about 4" LCD screen)

The problem is the reflection that the LCD screen presents even when displaying images. I've read some recommendations about removing light (making taking images harder), increasing the brightness (worked a bit better but still not looking great)

Is there a solution here? Am I supposed to use some kind of a lens cover?
How do people take good pictures of iPhone screens for example without reflections?

So I ran out of my API usage for Codex 5.3. I added another $200 but then saw that in a few hours this on demand sucked up $50. I was expecting days....

Except the $200 in usage with the fixed Ultra plan took close to 15 days to run out with many more prompts (multiples of it)

Are they screwing me over?
