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).
In preparation for NI week, we decided to resurrect our snake game with a new twist. Score tracking and high scores in LabVIEW!
Heart racing in excitement for NI Week? Well now you can measure exactly how fast it is going, with a photoresistor heart rate sensor.
Looking for a quick electronic fix? Check out one of our awesome NI Week demos!
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.
Whats the only thing cooler than robots equipped with weapons?? TWO robots with weapons. Jousting.
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 …
Long for the knights of old, but with the technology of new? Well trifle no longer, for in preparation for NI week, Josh and I decided to create jousting robots!
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!
During the summer, gardens abound — so many people are keeping an eye out for their sun-ripened, home-grown tomatoes or for that lovely hydrangea that’s just the right shade of blue. But summers are also a very hectic time. So how do you maintain that garden and make sure it receives the care it needs? One of the projects created for the Digilent Design Contest 2015 is a smart irrigation system intended to work with an Android device to see to it your garden gets the moisture it craves.
Digilent is excited to announce that the Analog Discovery Canvas Max is now available for individual purchase! Originally included with the Analog Discovery Studio Max (ADS Max), the Canvas Max …
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.
