Encoded Audio With Radial Basis Function

“The main goal of the project is to achieve a system which codes sound signals using Radial Basis Function embedded on a Zybo FPGA board. After the coding process the RBF weights are to be transferred through a Pmod RF2 …

A Microcontroller Enthusiast’s First Look at Programmable Logic

“The field programmable gate array (FPGA) has traditionally resided in the world of high-end professional development. Until recently, FPGAs stayed almost exclusively in that arena because of the high initial cost to purchase, the expense of the development tools, and …

A FPGA controlled RGB LED MATRIX for Incredible Effects – the Hardware

“In this post you will find the description of a graphic display that uses a modular solution based on dot matrix blocks (in which each dot is a RGB LED), that are driven – via a specific bus – by a very …

Project  FPGAmstrad

FPGAmstrad

“This is a VHDL version of Amstrad CPC 6128 running on FPGA starter-kit NEXYS2 500k-gates from Digilent. A starter-kit is a board made for learning FPGA, so it is a standard FPGA development board. Please refer to [MiST-board CoreDocAmstrad] for …

Automatic Faucet System with FPGA and IR Object Sensor

“We built a system that modifies an existing idea that is used extensively in public restrooms: faucet automation. We created an updated design that will lead to more efficient water use in faucets. We chose this idea because the existing …

Basys3 Bicycle Odometer

“Wouldn’t it be cool if the government promoted environmental sustainability by offering rebates for distance biked? This would encourage people to bike rather than drive, which would decrease our carbon emissions. This was the idea behind our project. We …

FPGA Automated House Lights

“For this project we will use a BASYS3 Board by Diligent for the purpose of taking what is meant to be a learning tool and giving it a creative purpose. A common problem I’ve noticed across many households is …

SUMP2 – 96 MSPS Logic Analyzer for $22

“Black Mesa Labs has an ongoing mission to develop easy to use and fully capable open-source hardware and software tools that make engineering electronics easier. One such tool is this new low cost open-source logic analyzer called SUMP2 for people …

A fast µC to FPGA bus

“For reasons which will become clear later, I ‘d like to exchange data quickly between an STM32 µC and an FPGA. SPI is a serial bus, which can be pushed to several dozen Mbit/sec - but what if we want …

Cheap homemade 30 MHz - 6 GHz vector network analyzer

“Vector network analyzer (VNA) are used to measure scattering parameters of high frequency circuits. When frequency is high enough the reflections of the waves start to matter and distributed effects need to be taken into account. VNA can be used …
