Tweeting Webcam Photos with a ZYBO
A project that I’ve been working on (and off) for while has been the titular tweeting webcam photos with a ZYBO.

We hope you had a great weekend, even though we’re sad it’s over! Want to end those Monday blues and work on a fun FPGA project? Take a leaf out of Instructable …
What are some more things to do with an FPGA? One Instructables user, krosenfeld7, made a guide for an FPGA composer.
Who doesn’t love the classic game of tic-tac-toe? And now it can be made new and fresh with the Nexys 2 FPGA board!
Are you looking for a good project to do with your Analog Discovery? On the Digilent Forum, Alex loaded a few of them from students at Sri Vishnu Engineering College for Women in southeastern India.
Two California hotels tested autonomous service robots over a six-month period. Reviews from their customers were overwhelmingly positive (except when aforementioned customers were intoxicated). They will be rolling out their next wave of autonomous service robots, called the Relay.
Did you ever play the game Battleship as a child? I remember finding it incredibly fun. This weekend, I found a new take on it! The version on Instructables uses a breadboard, wires, and other electrical components. It’s designed to teach children the basics of breadboarding — and to have fun, of course!
In a previous post, I talked about how plasma can be used to build high-fidelity speakers. Plasma isn’t limited to only producing sound– it can also be used to record it. Being made up of physical particles, plasma can be affected by vibrations through the air. This means it is possible to build a plasma arc microphone using the proper circuit. This application is far less common than using a plasma arc for a speaker, but research has still been done on the subject.
One of our regular contributors to the forum let us know about an awesome project he worked on. He managed to use the Basys 3 with a low-cost ultrasound rangefinder.
Have you ever wanted to shoot lightning bolts out of your hands like the Sith do in Star Wars? Have you ever wanted to be immune to lightning strikes? These things sound impossible, but they actually aren’t. Specially designed suits are capable of making you immune to high voltages by redirecting the flow of current around you.
So, who’s excited about ECEDHA? We here at Digilent wanted something big and flashy to amaze everyone, so we put this together. We carry weatherproof strips of the WS2812 addressable LEDs in 1m lengths with 30 LEDs on each strip, so what better way to grab your attention than to build a display with 30 strips!
In science fiction, plasma-based technology is often included because it is perceived as futuristic and exotic. Referring to plasma as exotic is understandable, but the technology behind its creation is less so. Since the invention of electric circuits, it has been possible to easily create and control plasma using high voltages. It is pretty common knowledge that high voltages ionize the air producing plasma arcs. What is not-so-common knowledge is the fact that these arcs of plasma can be used to play music.
A small post for Digilent’s largest products. All three rebranded NI VirtualBenches are now sold by Digilent and supported by WaveForms on Windows Fastest and highest bandwidth mixed signal …
Digilent is thrilled to announce exciting expansions to the well-respected Analog Discovery Pro family – the ADP5470 and the ADP5490. They’ll join the ADP5250 to round out the Analog Discovery Pro …
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 …
Digilent recently released updated versions of the WebDAQ 316, 504, and 904. These devices are internet-enabled dataloggers, capable of logging data from a variety of sensors like thermocouples, IEPE accelerometers, …
