	Current FEL based light sources foresee operation with very short electron bunches. These can be obtained with charges of 100pC and lower. The specified charge range for FLASH, DESY, Hamburg goes from 100pC up to 1nC. The electronics currently installed at button and stripline BPMs of FLASH have been designed for best performance at higher charges and have reached their limits. Currently a new type of electronics is being developed at DESY to overcome these limitations. These electronics is/are conforming with the uTCA for physics standard(ref). This paper describes the next generation of FLASH BPM electronics suitable for button and stripline BPM. Furthermore the first measurement results taken with beam at FLASH, DESY are presented here.
