FPGA with a Low-Cost Arduino Ultrasonic Rangefinder
One of our regular contributors to the forum let us know about an awesome project he worked on. He managed to use the Basys 3 with a low-cost ultrasound rangefinder.

At this point in reading the blog and going through the learn material, you might realize that there is a lot of FPGA code. It doesn’t look like C, it doesn’t look like Java…what is it?
If you’ve been keeping up with Digilent over that last couple of years, you may have heard about our merger with National Instruments. We’ve collaborated to create new products, and we’ve expanded our capabilities to work with more of NI’s products. One of those products is Multisim, a full-function testing and simulation environment for analog, digital, and power electronics designs.
如您所知,Digilent的主要重点之一是生产FPGA(现场可编程门阵列)板,并向公众教育FPGA设计。我上学期的一门课程专注于FGPA设计。该课程是WSU的EE324,由Digilent自己的Clint Cole教授。他对FPGA芯片的历史进行了背景演讲。这不仅是一个非常有趣的演讲,而且还帮助我了解了自1960年代以来一直在逻辑设计方面的巨大飞跃。这是导致FPGA芯片发展的历史。这些芯片是Xilinx在FPGA板上使用的部分。
您可能已经听说过Netfpga-sum,这是Digilent令人惊讶的高级董事会,该董事会是有史以来最大,最复杂的FPGA之一。但是背后的故事是什么?
With great excitement, we would like to show off the NetFPGA-Sume, our most complicated board to date, featuring the Xilinx, Inc. Virtex-7 FPGA!
A huge part of FPGA design is using logic blocks in design. With logic blocks, you can compartmentalize your design, rather than trying implement everything in one shot. Designing without smaller blocks would be like trying to design a car without subsystems like the braking system or engine. About half of the way through the course there is a project that covers a variety of basic logic blocks, including multiplexers (muxes) and demultiplexers (demuxes). So what are muxes and demuxes?
最近,我在一本学术教科书中找到了另一个令人兴奋的Digilent董事会的例子!Zynq书是一种方便的工具,可以更深入地了解“复杂”设备,并且是对芯片(SOC)上的Zynq系统的首次查看。实际上,这是Digilent的使命:通过负担得起的材料将工程学带给每个有兴趣的人。
In the world of technology, progress happens so fast that it is almost impossible to find a good and up-to-date source for digital design. That’s why I am so excited that I found Digital Fundamentals, (the 11th edition) by Floyd.
This past month, we have been busily working on the launch of our newest educational board, the Basys3!
At Washington State University, the electrical engineering department uses Digilent FPGAs in several classes. Students are allowed to pick from a variety of our FPGAs. The main choice is between the Nexys or Basys lines of FPGAs. As a student, I hear a lot of confusion from students about the differences between the two series of boards. I figured that students can’t be the only ones who have questions about the difference, so I decided to write a quick summary of the differences. I’ll be using the Nexsys 4 and the soon-to-be newest member of the Basys series as an example. I’ve compiled two lists to highlight the differences between the two.
