   * Probably no new Verilog   * Probably no new Verilog
   * Simple Linux API   * Simple Linux API
 +
 +Frequency counter card
 +  * (prescaler, into GHz range) output so low we can count it.
 +  * Uses the count4 Verilog peripheral or a derivative of it
 +
 +A GPS receiver card (for absolute time sync and accurate frequency generation)
 +  * May be based on, or just carrier card of, existing GPS/GNSS receivers, yes
 +  * See the current GPS interface in dpdeaemon for the existing API
 +  * Ref frequency generator from GPS signal, 10MHz output for test equipment (multiple driver outputs to sync many measurement devices)
 +
 +Galvanic insulated Volt meter 
 +  * (low freq) (measure volt/current in LAB situations) safe for ground loops etc
 +  * Optical / transformer / RF gap ?
 +
 +Galvanic insulated Thermocouple interface
 +  * test bench equipment
 +
 +A generic signal conditioning board
 +  * some op-amps, low pass filter
 +  * dip switch / jumper to configure ?
 +
 +Other Thoughts about cards
 +  * 4-20 mA interface to somehow integrate commercial sensors into fpga/linux backend
 +  * I2C ground loop break (level conversion and always safe) to I2C , grove, Qwiic devices 
 +  * One New board with some switches, a few LEDS and a LCD display, nicely done, visual and size compatible to rest of platform (a little control interface)
 +  * CAN BUS system integration New Chips available, (tribe of car enthousiasts will welcome this)
 +  * ACS71240 Integrated Current Sensor (hall sensor type, insulated measurement, high bandwidth)
 +  * Talking to chargers and electric cars : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_15118 some interface for this
 +  * Current controller/generator (starting at low current) upto 0.5 amp, used to power LED lighting applications (panels)
 +  * Sub GHz tranceiver Si4464/63/61/60 used in smart metering, 
 +    * allows many protocols (also known to me from balloon telemetry application 
 +    * ranging 150 km without special antenna (line of sight)
 +    * used in remote control and logging of factory equipment (preventive maintenance) and sensors in the field
 +    * thinking about making it into a AX25 mesh network

 +Silent stepper motor controller with all the trimmings TMC2226
 +  * http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/3119148.pdf
 +  * https://nl.farnell.com/trinamic/tmc2226-bob/breakout-board-stepper-motor-driver/dp/3439212?st=tmc2226
 +  * API to be defined
 +  * Most likely based on low speed serial peripheral
 +
 +DCC Model Railroad controller
 +  * Based on one channel of the current H-bridge
 +  * New Verilog required but a fairly simple design
 +  * recently found out this is a tribe, "model railroad builders" 
 +  * Have a board on my desk right now to fix LED lighting of a model

 Configurable voltage regulator card (?) Configurable voltage regulator card (?)
   * 3.3/3.7/5/6 volt selectable via jumper   * 3.3/3.7/5/6 volt selectable via jumper
 +  * could be some lm317 with resistors, jumpers or switches
 +  * does it need to be high power?
 +  * typical use case for this board?
