Well, once I read through the documentation on the lower level part, that cleared up at least two other apparent blockages to progress, which is good.
That said, is there a tutorial for making a project with the ZMods? I am unsure about how this is supposed to connect to the ZMod connector I physically placed the ADC1410 on, because unlike the PMODs, the ZMod does not seem to be listed on the board listing.
