How to use WaveForms software with your ZYBO board.
By now, you’re probably familiar with the ZYBO board. You’ve seen the ZYBOt, a tutorial for using embedded Linux with ZYBO, and how to tweet webcam photos with a ZYBO. Thanks to one intrepid Instructables user, you can now learn how to make a digital oscilloscope with a ZYBO.
We recently published a video about a simple Theremin built using the Analog Discovery and the Analog Parts Kit. A Theremin is an electronic musical instrument which essentially turns the user into a variable capacitor. The user can then adjust the frequency of the sound produced by the instrument by moving their hand in relation to an antenna. As the distance to the antenna changes, the capacitance also changes, thus changing the signal frequency. In the Theremin showcased in this video, a recycled soda can is used as the antenna.
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.
Are you looking for a good project to do with your Analog Discovery? On the Digilent Forum, Alex loaded a few of them from students at Sri Vishnu Engineering College for Women in southeastern India.
If you or anyone you know is learning the basics of electronics one of the things they’ll have to figure out is basic testing and measurement. We have a great project on the Learn site that can introduce one to basic waveform measurement and display with the help of the Analog Discovery.
There are plenty of data acquisition devices under $400, and the best choice depends on what you’re measuring. For general-purpose analog input, the MCC USB-1208FS-Plus ($204) is the classroom-standard 12-bit, …
When Digilent announced LabVIEW WaveForms Toolkit 2.0 earlier this month, a few additions stood out. Pattern Generator and Logic Analyzer support give students access to more of their Analog Discovery …
Mixed-Signal Oscilloscope vs. Digital Storage Oscilloscope A mixed-signal oscilloscope, or MSO, combines the analog channels of a digital storage oscilloscope, or DSO, with digital logic-analyzer channels in one instrument. A …
Every FPGA development workflow depends on several connected pieces: a programming and debugging interface, a design environment, expansion hardware, and the accessories needed to connect and power the system. Many …
