The www.balloonboard.org site should be read with a little caution. It is a wiki, which means that it is written by many people; much has accumulated over the years, and many of the pages are historic. All pages are confusing (guaranteed).

Newbies should start here www.balloonboard.org/balloonwiki/QuickInstall The PDF for the FPGA version is here: http://balloonboard.org/hardware/333/Balloon3_schematic3v33.pdf The connectors can be found here: www.balloonboard.org/balloonwiki/Balloon3ConnectorLocations and the pinouts are at: www.balloonboard.org/balloonwiki/Hardware#Pinouts_and_connectors All first-time buyers will be provided with a USB-to-Balloon lead (connector J14), which enables you to power up the board from your own 5VDC power-supply and to get the board to the 'Hello world' stage via a console on the board.
