As you’ve heard, Digilent came out with a new FPGA board <\/a>designed for use with MicroBlaze<\/a>. If you didn’t hear, check out the product announcement post<\/a> for some information and a Video!<\/p>\n

The new Arty!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The video in that post is a video done by Xilinx, talking about Arty<\/a> and showing off the demo that comes on board when Arty is shipped to you. The demo uses several I\/O features of the board, as well as a UART serial interface.<\/p>\n

I took the part of the video that goes through the demo and turned it into an Instructable called\u00a0Getting Started with Arty.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

The Instructable<\/a> starts with PWM mode, where the switches define a PWM signal that is sent to the LEDs. A PWM signal is a square wave. This dictates how bright the LEDs are by changing duty cycle. You can also see the PWM value on the UART output.<\/p>\n

The next mode is Cylon Mode. In this mode the RGB LEDs cycle through colors.<\/p>\n

The next mode is the Scrolling LED mode, In this mode the RGB LEDs alternate which one is on at a given time.<\/p>\n
