Digilent PMODS:通信是关键

We are going to continue with our Pmod series and talk about how you get the Pmod (peripheral module) to do what you want it to do. After all, it is not the best plan (especially in electronics) to just plug something in to a random spot and hope the device works correctly. The vast majority of the peripheral modules in the Pmod line collect or receive data (or both) and need to communicate this data with the host board. A GPS module that doesn’t send its coordinates to the host or an audio amplifier that does not receive data from the host are not terribly useful. Successful communication is key in any relationship, electronic or otherwise.

PMODLS1的历史

As you learned from James’ post, Digilent offers 63 Pmods! Each of those products has its own story of its conception and evolution. One of those products that had a very interesting beginning is the PmodLS1.

几周前,在与James(另一个实习生)和Gene(我们的联合创始人)聊天时,我们正在讨论公司的工作方式以及董事会设计过程的工作原理。在这次讨论中,我们发现PMOD LS1在华盛顿州立大学的教育开头。

Nexys与Basys

在华盛顿州立大学,电气工程系在几个班级中使用Digilent FPGA。允许学生从我们的各种FPGA中挑选。主要选择是在FPGA的Nexys或Basys线之间。作为一名学生,我听到了学生对两个系列董事会之间差异的许多困惑。我认为学生不可能是唯一对差异有疑问的人,因此我决定快速摘要有关差异的摘要。我将以Nexsys 4和Basys系列的最新成员为例。我已经编译了两个列表,以突出两者之间的差异。

PLTW,CMOD S6和NI MYDAQ

去ASEE这样的会议旅行的最佳部分之一就是参加研讨会。我喜欢去这些,因为很多次,这些都是我只听说过使用Digilent产品的教学经验,因此能够看到一个行动是一个可喜的变化。
