Some Basics of Frequency Modulation
Here’s a really great educational project for learning about frequency modulation using your Analog Discovery and Analog Parts Kit.
Beyond Theory: Operating a Shift Register
Have you ever been trying to learn how to do something and looked around online for help but got the impression that everybody else knew how to do it but never …
New Product- Pmod MAXSONAR
I’m really excited to announce the newest member of the Pmod family, the Pmod MAXSONAR!
Essential Fritzing Techniques: Top 6 Tips
As promised, this post provides some of the tips and tricks for using Fritzing that some of the other interns and I have discovered in our use of the software. I have been working closely with Fritzing to get a Digilent parts bin in the next release, which should happen soon!
Motion-Sensing AC Switch with Built-in Timer
Hello, all! I just finished a new project, the motion-activated AC switch.
PLTW, the Cmod S6, and NI MyDAQ
One of the best parts of traveling to a conference like ASEE is getting to participate in hands on workshops. I love getting to go to these, because many times, these are teaching experiences that I’ve only heard about that use Digilent products, so it was a welcome change to be able to see one in action.

Making Your Own Metronome
Microcontrollers can be utilized in a wide variety of applications, including musical applications. In keeping with this theme, I’m going to take a look today at how to create my own adjustable metronome using …
Digital Thermometer
Today I’m going to take a look into how to make a digital thermometer using parts from the chipKIT™ Starter Kit.
Remote Temperature Viewing on the Blackberry 10 Using the Digilent Basic I/O Shield
It is exciting to see all your posts and projects using Digilent products. This project posted by a Digilent user shows a step-by-step guide to using the Basic I/O Shield on the Blackberry 10 for remote temperature viewing and listening. There is also an earlier post in our blog about the I/O Shield and how cool it is. Check it out here!
Analog Discovery– Building a Theremin with a Soda Can!
Are you into analog circuits? Check out the video below to see a demonstration of a theremin that I built with the Digilent Analog Discovery using a soda can as the antenna!
Electric Dune Buggy
I’m an intern at Digilent working on converting a dune buggy to electric power. Once the buggy is complete, the operator will have the options to use either remote control or autonomous operation and will exemplify the functionality of Digilent products. The overall goal is to create something fun yet safe that will encourage innovators to go out and build something awesome.
Fritzing and Digilent
At Digilent, we use Fritzing to present educational concepts. A lot of our Learn projects feature Fritzing. A number of our parts (with more being added regularly) are in Fritzing Projects (search for Digilent) and in the user-created parts repository. From designing circuits to demonstrating new concepts, we use Fritzing for showing people what we’re working on. We also use some Fritzing graphics in our inventories for our Learn projects. (The one shown below is from a project about debouncing circuits with libraries.)
Letter from Clint Cole– Welcome
Hello all!
We’ve been building student-focused design kits for more than fourteen years, and I thought it might be time we shared some information about our company and our mission.
