Building Titan

Kevin and I spend the afternoon building Titan. We placed every part except the Lattice ECP5 FPGA. Since supply of the FPGA ICs are limited we are going to have a local contract manufacturer install it and X-Ray it to validate the solder quality.

We should be ready test later next week!
