Up in the air with ArduPilot
The first successful flight of a drone, or unmanned air vehicle (UAV) running on ArduPilot was recently announced. This UAV is powered by a Zynq, a dual-core ARM with an onboard FPGA. This FPGA makes the difference, leaving alone the first flight of a drone using ArduPilot. Using this FPGA allows the controller to handle…

MaSoCist setup on Papilio with TFT
Hi, after a few years being forced to play with other targets, I revisited the Papilio One and ported my in-house ‘MaSoCist’ setup to it. Yet another solution, you might think. Well, the motivation was to go minimal, but configureable. The MaSoCist is different in that respect that it rather is an environment than an…

Interfacing a Chord Keypad to Papilio Duo FPGA Board
Chorded keyboards are useful tools used to enter characters or commands formed by pressing several keys together. They are a bit like a piano. In the great blog post from Sustburbia, we will see how to efficiently connect one with an FPGA board, especially the Papilio DUO. The keypad is loosely based on the Microwriter – an early UK designed portable…
