I’m very proud to say that my For Cheap Robots project is still going strong! As some of you may recall, at the beginning of last month, I announced the beginning of my For Cheap Robots series here on the Digilent blog. Since then, I’ve added several more tutorials to the list and gotten a huge amount of positive feedback. I want to thank any and all of you who here who follow the Digilent Blog and decided to pop over to Instructables to check it out!
I’m a big fan of the chipKIT WF32. It’s a powerful little board with a WiFi card and SD card reader built in, but there’s a lot more to this board than meets the eye. There are a ton of communication lines, external interrupts, output compare pins, and more hidden in all those GPIO pins, but how do you tell what is what? That’s where the WF32 pin diagram comes in. I’ve compiled, color coded, and listed what each pin is capable of.
How SDR Works: Understanding the Mechanics of the SDR Signal Chain Software-defined radio (SDR) has transformed the way engineers, researchers, and students interact with wireless systems. Instead of relying on …
What Is SDR (Software Defined Radio)? Software Defined Radio (SDR) is a radio communication system that performs many traditional radio functions in software instead of dedicated hardware circuits. Tasks such …
Most students do not struggle with equations. They struggle with understanding what those equations actually do. In many learning environments, students define a system, run a process, and then interpret …
If you’re choosing between an FPGA and a SoC, the real question is not which one is “better.” It’s which one fits the job in front of you. Here is …
