Will Wadkins, Digilent’s FPGA Product Manager, discusses how Digilent is beginning to enter the software-defined radio space with the introduction of the USRP B205mini-i.
Some time ago, we had an old NES controller floating around the office. It wasn’t your run-of-the-mill NES controller, though – it had been “tampered” with. Instead of the normal …
For years, hardware engineers with interchangeable I/O needs had two strong choices – our own Pmod, which was developed as an open standard back in 2004, as well as the …
One lucky user was tasked to see what the Genesys ZU was capable of.
Pablo at ControlPaths.com has written a guide for creating a custom AXI IP using the Genesys ZU, but any Zynq MPSoC will do. We’re partial to the Genesys ZU though. …
Designed and manufactured by our partner, Trenz Electronic, the TE0802 is a development board integrating a Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+. The board features a variety of connectivity interfaces including DisplayPort, VGA, …
Our friend Yahya, Editor at Atadiat (the Arabic word for hardware), has put together a fine tutorial on serial engine programming. Using the MPSSE (Multi-Protocol Synchronous Serial Engine) from FTDI Chip …
The Arty S7, our FPGA development board using the cost efficient Xilinx Spartan 7, gives users plenty of I/O and expansion options to work with. Since its inception in 2018, …
Vitis is Xilinx’s unified software platform, replete with open source libraries optimized for Xilinx’s own hardware platforms and pre-built applications. The Genesys ZU is our “kitchen sink” development board boasting …
Pablo from controlpaths.com lent his expertise in Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and applied it to our Eclypse Z7 board (using the SYZYGY Zmod ADC and DAC, and Xilinx’s xFFT IP). …
Engineers across the globe have been forced out of their labs and into their living rooms, asked to continue working on whatever projects they were prior to being self-quarantined. The …
We are really excited about some new products we released earlier this year: the Eclypse Z7, Zmod ADC 1410, and Zmod DAC 1410. Since we didn’t get a chance to …
How to Test a Relay With a Multimeter: A Detailed Guide A multimeter tests a relay in two ways. First, set it to ohms (Ω) mode and measure the coil …
To measure current with a multimeter, you break the circuit and insert the meter in series. Set the meter to A (amps) or mA, plug the red probe into the …
There’s a particular kind of project that a lot of engineering students want to attempt but never quite start. Building a processor is high on that list. It sounds like …
Hello readers, Oscar Fonseca here, Product Manager at Emerson, working closely with our NI and Digilent academic customers. I’m excited to announce the release of LabVIEW WaveForms Toolkit 2.0. One …
