We have a new hero in town: Spider-Dog.
We need more power, Doc! Good thing we have these PowerBRICKs.
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. Nothing beats the crisp autumn air, the crunchy leaves blanketing sidewalks, picking out the largest deformed pumpkin at the pumpkin patch, or getting …
What are the differences between UDP and TCP?
Tommy and Sam present their homemade FPGA audio looper!
Is your inability to accurately identify coin cell batteries negatively impacting your life and affecting your loved ones? Nate is here to help!
A little while ago, you likely saw the post that I did on my Color Invaders project. It’s a lot of fun to play as is, but it was suggested that the game could be made even better if there were some sound effects included as well. I got it done with a few tweaks…
This is a continuation of previous blogs about logic gates. Earlier you read about logic gates and their functions. Then you read about how to code logic gates in Verilog, VHDL, and C. Now its time to learn about creating logic gates with transistors. After reading all of these posts you’ll have learned about logic gate theory, coding logic gates in both hardware and software, and the physical hardware design of logic gates.
What do you use to connect your Pmods to their host boards? We now have two new options, the 6-pin Pmod Cable Kit and the 12-pin Pmod Cable Kit.
The Analog Parts Kit contains a large selection of components perfect for creating a wide variety of useful circuits & devices. Featuring Analog Devices components, the kit includes transistors, resistors, capacitors, diodes, sensors, and variety of useful ICs, including op amps, converters, and regulators. Finally, the kit also comes with an assortment of lead wires, a solderless breadboard, and a screwdriver.
MPIDE comes with a nice serial monitor where you are able to print out values that your system board has measured onto your computer screen. But if you are able to print things onto your computer screen, wouldn’t it make sense if the chipKIT board also accepted and processed values that we typed into the serial monitor? It would make a lot of sense, which is probably why we can do just that. Let’s find out how.
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. …
