What do you use to connect your Pmods to their host boards? We now have two new options, the 6-pin Pmod Cable Kit and the 12-pin Pmod Cable Kit.
Here are some of the tricks I have learned while using LabVIEW that will make your life much easier!
Earlier today, Josh (a fellow intern and blog contributor) wrote a blog post about logic gates. After reading through Josh’s post and gaining an understanding of the concepts and basic functions of those gates, I figured now would be the perfect time to learn some code. I am going to go over each logic gate and it’s code in Verilog (a hardware language), VHDL (another hardware language) and C (software language).
The very basis of computers is binary. In electronics everything can be boiled down to 1s and 0s. Logic gates are digital circuits that take one or more binary inputs and produce a binary output. You can check out the basis of logic with Boolean Algebra.
One of the really cool projects to come out of the Digilent Design Contest is a virtual touchscreen game hands-on tutorial for the ZYBO. This Instructable provides step-by-step instructions for customizing hardware to emulate a touchscreen on a simple TFT (thin-film transistor) monitor using camera and finger detection
As people come back from Maker Faire having seen — and made — some truly amazing things, we’d like to reflect back upon a fun project that one of our interns spent a lot of time on last year, the soda can theremin.
The goal of this Instructable by myronking is to build a simple two-wheeled motorized robot controlled by a ZedBoard. You’ll learn about communication and control logic with FPGAs.
A project that I’ve been working on (and off) for while has been the titular tweeting webcam photos with a ZYBO.
One of the companies we work closely with is Xilinx, and we’re honored that they feature some of our products on their partner pages. The Digilent partner page not only has information about our company, but links to our products that use a Xilinx FPGA (and a few accessories).
Guest contributor Kursat Gol provides a review of his project testing the NetFPGA-1G-CML with a laptop computer.
We hope you had a great weekend, even though we’re sad it’s over! Want to end those Monday blues and work on a fun FPGA project? Take a leaf out of Instructable …
What are some of the communication protocols commonly used in Digilent Pmods? Find out by watching our latest video, featuring James Colvin.
Hardware engineers don’t always stay in the lab. Sometimes they work from home, or they need to test equipment that cannot be brought into the laboratory. In those situations, a …
Building a Raspberry Pi-Based DAQ System for an SAE Baja Challenge Car The SAE Baja Challenge pushes engineering students far beyond the classroom. Teams are tasked with designing, building, and racing a …
The idea of “remote lab access” comes up a lot, but it can still feel a little abstract in practice. After dealing with the usual back-and-forth around lab access, the …
I’m not an engineer. But this will be my third time attending the ASEE Annual Conference with Digilent, and each year I leave feeling the same way: inspired. My background …
