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 …
Implementing Predictive Maintenance with Raspberry Pi Industry 4.0 is making its way into the world of mechanical engineering. The growing interconnectivity of machines allows, with the help of sensors, to …
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 …
Step-by-Step Guide to Building an Arch Linux-Based Project This paper will provide a step-by-step guide to build from ground up a Genesys ZU development board-based hardware and software project that …
Editor’s Note – In this series, we will take a behind the scenes look at how an engineer tackles a project from beginning to end. What challenges will come up? …
Creating an Eye Diagram An eye diagram, common in telecommunications, is a way of plotting the rising and falling edges of a digital signal in the same plot, creating an …
The ongoing digital transformation process across all industrial sectors involves doing away with conventional processes and embracing interconnectivity, digitalization, and streamlined data management. Although conventional digital signal processors (DSPs) continue …
Signal processing has come a long way from the days when early computers used processors consisting of bit-slice chips. Now, in the 21st century, the widespread use of integrated circuits …
What is Zynq? When it comes to electronics, developers can take several different approaches to accomplish their goals. Two approaches that developers must carefully consider to construct a computer or …
How to Measure an Accelerometer Using a Raspberry Pi-Mounted DAQ IEPE (Integrated Electronics Piezo-Electric) sensors are used to measure acceleration, pressure, or force. These types of piezoelectric sensors contain built-in …
Industry 4.0 runs on a plethora of software, mid-ware, and hardware solutions that enable machine-to-machine, as well as, machine-to-human communications within the shop floor. For software, cloud computing, the digital …
What is Linux Mode on ADP3450? The Analog Discovery Pro ADP3450 showcases two so-called “Modes” – Standard Mode and Linux Mode. Each has its own function and application, but what …
Last month, I described a simple stateless web application using Python and Plotly’s Dash module. It created a dashboard allowing users to select waveform channels, update rate, and the number …
Software defined radio (SDR) replaces traditional radio frequency (RF) hardware with programmable software, giving you dynamic control over modulation, bandwidth, and frequency. This technology allows for wideband, flexible experimentation across …
Fritzing is a free tool that allows users to create clean and professional images of electronics projects for teaching or sharing. Digilent uses Fritzing in all of our intern-created projects, and we’re working closely with Fritzing to have a bin of Digilent parts soon.
At Digilent, we’re proud to support educators and students around the world in bringing digital design concepts to life. One recent example comes from Yeditepe University in Istanbul, Turkey, where …
