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.
One of our lesser known products that definitely deserves some more attention is the Electronics ExplorerTM Board. This is an incredible piece of hardware that everyone interested in electronics should have. When I first started in electronics, I used the popular Analog Discovery. After using the EE Board, another analog design product offered by Digilent, it has become my new favorite.
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 …
The best FPGA board for a beginner is affordable, approachable, and backed by strong learning resources. Think of it as an FPGA starter kit designed to help you begin building …
Running the same measurement 500 times, logging data overnight, or feeding captured samples directly into a Python analysis pipeline is where the WaveForms graphical application may start to fall short. …
