There’s a particular kind of project that a lot of engineering students want to attempt but never quite start. Building a processor is high on that list. It sounds like …
Hardware engineers don’t always stay in the lab. Sometimes they work from home, or they need to test equipment that cannot be brought into the laboratory. In those situations, a …
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 …
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 …
Ready to put your digital logic knowledge to the test? We’re excited to share a project that brings fundamental concepts like state machines and counters to life using the popular …
Hi there Digilent Blog readers! I’m Dr. Brian Faulkner, professor of Electrical Engineering at Milwaukee School of Engineering in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA, where I teach introductory circuit theory and power …
As engineers, we know the importance of having versatile and effective tools at our disposal. The Analog Discovery 2 from Digilent is one such tool that has become a staple …
In this post, the hardware design for the Eclypse Z7 to perform wireless communication is discussed. The initial considerations behind the circuit design and PCB design have discussed in this …
Imagine you have just a few measurements left before you can hand over your latest project to your sales team so that they can present it to potential customers. But …
COILS COILS COILS If you’re like me, you’ll have many wireless charging coils around your lab for various standards. They likely entered your lab well-dressed; adorned in well-labelled packaging, …
A classic interaction between a new FPGA user and an embattled older engineer (whether on our Forums or elsewhere) goes as follows: New engineer: My design doesn’t work, could you …
Acquiring and Measuring FM Radio Frequencies From Your Desktop Overview Using Waveforms’ Oscilloscope or Spectrum Analyzer instruments to acquire the typical FM radio frequencies is just one of the capabilities …
Mixed-Signal Oscilloscope vs. Digital Storage Oscilloscope A mixed-signal oscilloscope, or MSO, combines the analog channels of a digital storage oscilloscope, or DSO, with digital logic-analyzer channels in one instrument. A …
Every FPGA development workflow depends on several connected pieces: a programming and debugging interface, a design environment, expansion hardware, and the accessories needed to connect and power the system. Many …
The best FPGA board for a beginner is affordable, approachable, and backed by strong learning resources. Think of it as an FPGA starter kit designed to help you begin building …
Running the same measurement 500 times, logging data overnight, or feeding captured samples directly into a Python analysis pipeline is where the WaveForms graphical application may start to fall short. …
