Collaborate Disseminate
When [Ezra Thomas] needed inspiration for his senior design project, he only needed to look as far as his own robot. Built during his high school years from the classic …read more Continue reading Robot Pet is A Chip Off The Old Logic Block
Even the most punctual among us are content to synchronize their clocks to external time sources like navigation satellite constellations, network time servers, frequency-controlled AC mains, or signals broadcast by …read more Continue reading Accurate Digital Clock Keeps Ticking with FPGA
While ARM continues to make inroads into the personal computing market against traditional chip makers like Intel and AMD, it’s not a perfect architecture and does have some disadvantages. While …read more Continue reading Custom RISC-V Processor Built in VHDL
A recent trend has been to convert high-level constructs into FPGA code like Verilog or VHDL. Slice goes the other way: it converts very hardware-specific concepts to Verilog and aims …read more Continue reading Slice Your Next FPGA Design
We’re big fans of the Arduboy here at Hackaday, but we’ll admit its tiny screen isn’t exactly ideal for long gaming sessions. There are some DIY builds of the open …read more Continue reading Arduboy on the Big Screen
Digital filters are always an interesting topic, and they are especially attractive with FPGAs. [Pabolo] has been working with them in a series of blog posts. The latest covers an …read more Continue reading FIR Filters for Xilinx
Until a few years ago, developing for FPGAs required the use of proprietary locked-down tools, but in the last few years, the closed-source dam has burst, and open-source FPGA tools …read more Continue reading Using Docker to Sail Through Open-Source Xilinx FPGA Development
FPGA guru [Max Maxfield] recently took a look at the XLR8 (pronounced accelerate) board from a company called Alorium. On the surface, it looks like another Arduino UNO clone. But …read more Continue reading Arduino and FPGA Done Differently
We are big fans of POV displays, particularly ones that move into 3D. To do so, they need to move even faster than their 2D cousins. [danfoisy] built a volumetric …read more Continue reading Surf’s Up, A Styrofoam Ball Rides the Waves to Create a Volumetric Display
For American readers of a certain age, Local on the 8s likely holds a special spot in your heart. The program, once a staple of The Weather Channel, would provide viewers with …read more Continue reading Reverse Engineering The Weather Channel’s Magic
