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 …
Digilent is excited to announce that the Analog Discovery Canvas Max is now available for individual purchase! Originally included with the Analog Discovery Studio Max (ADS Max), the Canvas Max …
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.
