Yes, that would be the idea, to swap ideas :)

My main interest is a TIC with better resolution than a 5370 and also
with higher data flow, or with the capabilities to do some
post-processing of a bunch of data. Really it is an idea I've from long,
but not yet though too seriously on it (usually not too much time to
dedicate to it :) ). I was at first thinking on an interpolator based
TIC similar to the PICTIC idea (the ADC in the board seems handy for
that), I've also read some papers about FPGA implementation of ~10ps
resolution TICs, and then also the DDMTD idea has come. I really bought
that little board only to play around (I could not resist the $79, that
is only a bit over the digikey price for the FPGA alone, and that all
the I/O pins are 2.54" spaced so it is very easy to play around with the
signals and to build a "carrier" board for interfacing it) - the idea
that could be the core for a nice TIC came after :) And well, if
something good comes from it, we could "industrialize" the result at
time-nuts level if there is some interest in the list :)
Regards,
Javier
