A blog post on the hardware features of the Analog Discovery Pro 2230 in less than 250 words for those of you who appreciate maximum utility in a minimum footprint. …
In the spirit of the holidays, this is some plain-old fun. We’ve talked about video games implemented in FPGAs before – https://digilent.com/blog/?s=game – but what about the other way around? …
Each day there’s more and more information coming at us from all outlets and it takes up valuable time and effort to determine what is worth listening to. People who …
This post describes a senior design project that students at North Carolina State University (NCSU) worked on, in which the Analog Discovery 2 (AD2) is equipped with extra features tailored …
At some point during a FPGA engineers’ career, they will be faced with a difficult bug in their VHDL or Verilog code and they’ll ask themselves: “Why are we stuck …
WaveForms. It’s the software suite that controls all of Digilent’s Test and Measurement devices including the popular Analog Discovery 2, the Analog Discovery Pro series boards, and the Digital Discovery. …
So I’ve been using the Analog Discovery Pro (ADP3450/ADP3250) and the Analog Discovery 2 for some time now. But one of the things I had to keep on my bench here …
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 …
In this last installment of our four-part blog series about creating a smart lamp, we will bring everything together. The HAL for the WaveForms SDK we developed in the Part …
In today’s manufacturing world, companies are trying to do more with less staffing by maximizing throughput or looking for critical status of a production line without interrupting focus of production …
This is the first part of a series of four blog posts where we will design a smart RGB-lamp which is powered by a battery and controlled through an app …
What Do Data Acquisition Specifications Actually Mean? I got my first taste of data acquisition working in a student lab at NASA Glenn Research Center. I was working on a …
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 …
You open a Verilog example, launch Vivado for the first time, or start reading for a digital design course, and one term keeps showing up: RTL. It usually appears as …
At events like ASEE, there is a lot of conversation around tools, curriculum, and new ways to deliver technical content. All of those things matter. But one student poster I …
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 …
