Hindsight is always 20/20!
After the dust had settled:
- The SRAM we bought was surface mount (BIG mistake), and it ended up being easier to simply use the SRAM
Prof. Land already had. (32K)
- We bought the wrong optoisolator. We needed a current-controlled one, and bought a voltage controlled one.
It was straightforward to make the necessary circuit modifications.
- The A/D worked as expected.
- The DAC was surface mount. dammit! don't ever buy surface mount. The dac was approximately the size of a pillbug. Yay. We ended up giving up trying to solder to it and bought a new, larger one.
- We never ended up using the battery pack. Simpler to use the external power supply.
- All interface jacks were used as expected.
