Today we’ve got a very special engagement to let you all in on. The man behind the curtain, Gadget Factory founder Jack Gassett will be giving a tech talk about the Papilio platform at the upcoming industry convention Design West Expo 2013 out in Silicon Valley, California. The Design West Expo is an industry-leading event, slated to run from April 22-25 at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose.

Jack will be speaking on Designing an Open Source Arduino/FPGA Development Board; the seminar will be held Wednesday, April 24, 2013 from 9:15 AM – 10:15 AM at the Salon 4 designation in the convention center. Our COO Kalesh Weaver will also be in attendence at the event.

In this session, the creator of the Papilio – Inventor Jack Gassett –will present a technical tour describing how the system is implemented and discuss the design decisions he made along the way. Also discussed will be the ways in which users can plug their own peripherals into the system using VHDL or schematic entry; also how users can take existing cores from sites like OpenCores.com and integrate them into the Papilio’s Arduino soft processor core.

WE’D LOVE TO SEE YOU THERE! If you plan on attending, please let us know – Jack was telling me that we can plan a Gadget Factory get-together for all who show to the expo! Also, Design West is offering some special promotions for friends of Gadget Factory that will get you a huge discount (over $800.00 off) on all-access passes to Design West.
