Using Vivado’s Built-in Simulator to Debug Designs
A classic interaction between a new FPGA user and an embattled older engineer (whether on our Forums or elsewhere) goes as follows: New engineer: My design doesn’t work, could you …

Acquiring and Measuring FM Radio Frequencies From Your Desktop Overview Using Waveforms’ Oscilloscope or Spectrum Analyzer instruments to acquire the typical FM radio frequencies is just one of the capabilities …
In this last installment of our four-part blog series about creating a smart lamp, we will bring everything together. The HAL for the WaveForms SDK we developed in the Part …
Using Additional Software to View Date Remotely Now that we’ve created a working distributed data collection and display system (see parts 1 through 4), let’s briefly explore other software packages available …
Distributing the Applications to View the Data Remotely The goal of this article series is to demonstrate how to create a data acquisition system on one system, and view the …
Creating an Application to View Data with VB.NET In Part 2, we created a working application to read telemetry from sensors connected to a USB-2408, write the telemetry or data to …
In this third issue of our four-part blog post series covering the creation of a smart LED-lamp, we are designing the Android app controlling brightness and state of the LED. …
In today’s manufacturing world, companies are trying to do more with less staffing by maximizing throughput or looking for critical status of a production line without interrupting focus of production …

This is the second installment of a series of four blog posts explaining how to design a smart RGB-lamp. If you are interested, you can find Part 1 here. By …
How Do You Measure an IEPE Accelerometer? The Basics of IEPE Sensors Matching IEPE (Integrated Electronics Piezo-Electric) sensors to an instrument can be quite easy if you know a few …
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 …
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 …
At events like ASEE, there is a lot of conversation around tools, curriculum, and new ways to deliver technical content. All of those things matter. But one student poster I …
