As we say our final farewells to this past year, it is an opportunity to do some reflection. 2017 was a time of many great things, including a solar eclipse, awesome technological advances, and not being 2016.\u00a0 It was also apparently a time for a massive release of superhero movies (seriously at least six, not even counting the Netflix shows). That is why, to commemorate such an epic year, we have decided to do a little hero-acknowledging of our own.<\/p>\n

So in true superhero spirit, we count down our top three Digilent Hardware Heros from 2017! Without further ado, allow us to introduce…<\/p>\n

The “Man (what a) Steal” <\/strong>AKA\u00a0\u00a0The Arty S7<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If bad performance or big price tags are your Kryptonite, then the Arty S7 is the hero for you! Featuring the\u00a0new Xilinx\u00a0S<\/strong>partan-7<\/strong>\u00a0FPGA, this super-packed board will have you removing your glasses to examine just how powerful it can be.<\/p>\n

And with its chiseled PCB and handsome silkscreen overlay, the design process has never looked so good.<\/p>\n

The Green Lantern AKA<\/strong> Analog Discovery 2<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Shedding light on your projects since its release in 2015, this lean green bug-detecting machine illuminates issues that may not be visible to the naked Multimeter. Weighing in at an intimidatingly small form factor,\u00a0this hero packs a pocket-sized punch. This lab-must-have lantern is guaranteed to lighten up the mood of any project.<\/p>\n

The “Just Us” League AKA\u00a0<\/strong>The Pmod Packs<\/h3>\n
\"\"
*distant sound of the National Anthem*<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Representing some of our best in standalone purchases, we have the Pmod packs<\/a>! Bravely going together where only solo Pmods have gone before,<\/a>\u00a0these accessible and convenient bundles are designed to streamline any design. By working as a team, they save you hours of having to search through the illustrious Pmod selection<\/a>\u00a0to locate the perfect Pmod squad for your board.<\/p>\n

So there you have it- the Digilent Hardware Heroes of 2017! Make sure to contribute your fan-favorite in the comment section below, and fell free to nominate contenders if you feel like we missed someone!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Please note we have chosen not to include Ant-Man or Spiderman comparisons since our hardware does not have anything to do with such bugs (or arachnids mind you).<\/p>\n
