Let’s talk about clocking. It’s crucial to the functionality of FPGA boards and digital design in general, as all synchronous logic depends on clocks. In this article, we’ll define some …
Shifting Academic Focus In late June, Digilent attended the American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE) Annual Conference. We’re no strangers to the event, and have been proud to show off …
Building a Raspberry Pi-Based DAQ System for an SAE Baja Challenge Car The SAE Baja Challenge pushes engineering students far beyond the classroom. Teams are tasked with designing, building, and racing a …
The idea of “remote lab access” comes up a lot, but it can still feel a little abstract in practice. After dealing with the usual back-and-forth around lab access, the …
I’m not an engineer. But this will be my third time attending the ASEE Annual Conference with Digilent, and each year I leave feeling the same way: inspired. My background …
A large U.S. university with over 1,400 undergraduate electrical engineering students has developed a scalable approach to delivering hands-on lab experiences – both on campus and fully online. Serving a …
Signal processing starts with data. Whether you are working with sensors, audio signals, or transient events, the ability to capture clean, high-resolution data directly affects what you can learn from …
Most parts of engineering work are fairly flexible at this point. You can review schematics from anywhere, push firmware changes without being tied to a specific location, and work through …
Outfitting a lab is rarely about finding a single perfect instrument. In most cases, the goal is to choose tools that are flexible, reliable, and capable of supporting a range …
NI Connect 2026 is officially underway, and it’s great to see the NI community coming together again. This week is all about sharing ideas, reconnecting with familiar faces, and talking …
The Analog Discovery Pro 2440 and Analog Discovery Pro 2450 combine capable hardware with WaveForms software that is designed for everyday measurement work. The focus is not just on capturing …
Mixed‑signal validation often starts with more tools than necessary. An oscilloscope for analog signals, a logic analyzer for digital buses, and a separate signal generator just to get known inputs …
This Mandelbrot set renderer was created by Conrad, who shared the project on GitHub (username conradSZY05). Built for the Digilent Basys 3, the design uses VHDL and Xilinx Vivado to …
Debugging modern embedded systems often requires piecing together information from multiple tools to understand both analog and digital behavior. In a recent Digilent webinar, we took a closer look at …
The Question A Digilent forum user working on a vintage computing project needed to troubleshoot hardware built around a 6502 CPU. Their goal was to extract the CPU’s address and …
Hello readers, Oscar Fonseca here, product manager at Emerson, working closely with our NI and Digilent academic customers. In this blog, I’m going to compare the NI ELVIS III and the Digilent Analog Discovery Studio Max (ADS Max). As someone who …
NI USB oscilloscopes have a strong track record. If your workflow specifically depends on NI‑SCOPE driver features, InstrumentStudio, or formal calibration services, then NI’s modular instruments are the right path. For most prototyping, research, and validation teams, the Analog …
If you have ever pushed the bandwidth higher on an instrument and thought, “Why does this look worse now?” you are not alone. Many engineers run into this when they try to …
Digilent’s WaveForms software includes a small built-in FPGA utility, which is used to configure (program) the FPGA on supported Digilent boards directly from within WaveForms. If you’ve been around for …
The Question A user getting started with the Analog Discovery 3 (AD3) wanted to generate a waveform using the Arbitrary Waveform Generator while simultaneously sampling an analog input – both …
Does measurement still matter? Engineering has always been shaped by its tools. From early lab instruments to modern software and test systems, the way engineers observe, verify, and evaluate their …
Digital design education has long relied on simulation to introduce foundational concepts such as Boolean logic, sequential circuits, and finite state machines. While simulation is essential, it does not fully …
The Emona Communications Board (DxIQ‑45G) is a purpose‑built partner board for the Digilent Analog Discovery Studio Max (ADS Max), designed to introduce students to foundational concepts in modern digital and …
Engineering education evolves quickly, but some fundamentals never go out of style. Field‑Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have been a training ground for generations of engineers because they teach students how …
