  • Papilio Controlling a Sweet LED Scrolling Sign

    Papilio user GalacticaSound put together a sweet scrolling LED sign that he connected to the Papilio One using a I/O Wing plugged into a breadboard. We want one of those LED signs too! For more details visit his Papilio project page and for now take a look at his video:     Looks awesome Joel!…

  • DAC (Digital to Analog) SPI MCP4921 VHDL project posted by Debreuil.

    Debreuil just posted a github project to control MCP4921 DAC chips with VHDL on the Papilio. There is no Wing for the MCP4921 DAC but there are templates to make Wings in the Papilio Playground or the soon to be available Prototype Wing could be used. Picture of the home brew pcb made with KiCad,…
