  • Controlling Stepper Motors with Joysticks using FPGA

    Greetings FPGA innovators! Stepper motors can be an integral part of projects that have a dimension of mobility to them. Be it rovers, robots, drones or claw machines, controlling stepper motors with joysticks is an integral part and FPGAs accomplish speed control easily. Today’s post is about using a FPGA and a joystick to control…

  • Build an Autonomous FPGA Search and Rescue Vehicle

    Hello again FPGA lovers! Today’s project is a challenging one where you build an autonomous search and rescue vehicle with FPGA! The projects involves the use of 2 vehicles, where one searches for the target with the aid of an FPGA, while the other uses minimal sensory aids to follow the search beacon and rescue. The…

  • Build Your Own Hexapod Robot with FPGA

      Hello FPGA lovers! Today’s project is going to be a challenge on mainly 3 fronts. The Project at hand is to build a Hexapod Robot based on FPGA, and the 3 challenges are to get the Hexapod to work with FPGA, design and simulate it with CAD and to carve and glue the parts…

  • Build Your Own Vacuum Robot With Your FPGA!

    This is the first part of the series for building up your own robot, that is fully capable of swallowing up the dust of your room. The first thing you need to build is a fully functional robot that moves independently around your room and that can stop at every obstacle. Well, you have it.…

  • Here is How The Dark Side Got Started With Their Robot Army!

    Nowadays, you may be fed up of Star Wars jokes, baits and so on. I am sorry, I could not resist the temptation. Anyway, this time, at least, was not a joke nor a lie. Today´s article brings the real truth to you. If you want to build your own robot, as simple as you…

  • How To: Use Your FPGA For Precision DC Motor Control

    Here is a simple little project that you can use to control a DC motor with some pretty tight precision from your FPGA board. This could be useful for some of your projects! Chris over at Pyroelectro has all the tutorial goodness you’ll need to get one of these up and running. He gives a…

  • FPGA DC Motor Control

    Hey everyone! Here is a nice project that we found over at PyroElectro.com over how to interface to an FPGA to allow precise control over a DC motor! Chris from Pyroelectro wrote a very nice documentation to explain how to use a CPLD or an FPGA to take input from one device and then output…
