A point of confusion for a lot of people new to FPGA design is the constraints file. People are used to just writing code and having it work. However, in FPGA design we have to specify what hardware is being used.
Remember Etch-a-Sketch? Well, here’s a chance to play an updated version!
Have you ever been intrigued by motion sensors? This Instructable by sebastiangiangu shows how this team designed and developed a gesture detecting engine for the Digilent Design Contest 2015.
Tommy and Sam present their homemade FPGA audio looper!
When was the last time you played Whack-a-Mole? There’s a newer, more technologically advanced version now…
How to use WaveForms software with your ZYBO board.
Welcome to the first expanded explanation post in our series on the ‘Components of an FPGA’. This post will describe the architecture of a configurable logic block (CLB) and the functionality this component serves within a field programmable gate array (FPGA).
Once upon a time, the readers of the Digilent blog were given a brief history lesson on the field programmable gate array (FPGA), at the end of which you all …
FPGA or microcontroller? Do I have to choose? We’re here with some of the differences between the two and appropriate times to use each.
Games all around! What makes a fun game for the engineer in your life? A programmable maze based on an FPGA. This Instructable was made by RedCirkle to provide a …
Music is one of the more delightful aspects of being human. Listening to it provides such a thrill, but creating it — that takes real work. But what if there were a way to simplify that? Of course there is!
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 …
