Welcome back to the Digilent Blog! If you’re new to Digilent, our community, or even FPGAs or coding in general then you’re in for a treat. I have recently started …
As you may be aware if you follow the blog closely, I’ve been working on building the claw machine. The claw machine is one of those infuriating devices that camps in …
Use a Basys 3 and PmodJSTK to control a stepper motor.
This tutorial walks you through controlling a stepper motor with an FPGA.
Now we know what a state machine is. But how do we code one?
BBC Radio made a huge transition with the assistance of an amazing Digilent product.
When inclement weather is upon us, we try to think about how to efficiently heat or cool a room (and save money doing so). This small solar room temperature regulator …
Happy first birthday to the Nexys 4 DDR!
Get back to doing projects with this finite state machine done with a Basys 3.
An awesome YouTube playlist covering Vivado on two of our favorite FPGA boards.
Are you trying to set up a MicroBlaze processor on your Nexys board?
Software Defined Radio (SDR) is a radio communication system that performs many traditional radio functions in software instead of dedicated hardware circuits. Tasks such as filtering, modulation, demodulation, signal generation, …
Most students do not struggle with equations. They struggle with understanding what those equations actually do. In many learning environments, students define a system, run a process, and then interpret …
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 …
