“Getting Started” Papilio + B/LED Wing Project
Duane Benson over at ProgrammablePlanet.com has a nifty starter project for the Papilio and the B/LED wing that may help some new Papilio users get started on FPGAs. What you’ll need for this project are a Papilio board and the Button/LED Wing (click the links for more info). The objectives of this project are to:…

8 digit frequency counter project quick update.
After designing a 8 digit frequency counter using a Dx display and a Papilio One board hamster finally got a Digilent GPS PMOD and completed the project by making a GPS referenced 100MHz frequency counter and everything is working as expected 🙂 Here is a picture of the GPS referenced 100MHz frequency counter in action: Dont…

Storing user data on your FPGA
One thing that makes FPGAs so great is flexibility and the unlimited type of projects that can be made using an FPGA, however, it’s still limited by the amount of resources it has especially when you want to run a big project that requires a large amount of memory space. Papilio user hamster a.k.a Mike…

I2C Master Writer VHDL code
Papilio user Wicked wrote some nice VHDL code that performs I2C writes with the goal to initialize a camera and video encoder. Wicked was originally sending the I2C initializations commands using a Picoblaze soft processor but that wasted a lot of memory that would be better used by the camera. So he decided to write…

Synth project for the LogicStart MegaWing
Hamster (a.k.a Mike Field) has started a new topic on our community forum to share with us his new “Music Box” project that he made using his Papilio FPGA board and the LogicStart MegaWing. The Synth project can actually carry a tune by make the correct sound at the correct time and the sound can…

New Papilio FPGA based vision system!
Three months ago Papilio user Wicked has shared with us his breackthrough of Multi Color Object Tracking with a Papilio One 500k and a cheap camera that he got from sparkfun for around $10, since then he has gone crazy with his project! He managed to do some servo tracking with the project and then he…

“CheapScope” Virtual Logic Analyser for the Papilio One
Hey everyone! Today we got a very interesting project for you, our forum user Hamster has started a forum topic to share with us his new project. He designed a Virtual Logic Analyser for the Papilio One that could be used on any Xilinx FPGA where you can gain access to one spare I/O pin.…

A SoundPuddle MegaWing to control 10,000 LEDs with Papilio!
After a successful run of the SoundPuddle at Apogaea Festival John English of Boulder Engineering Studio has shifted his focus toward building a new circuit board to run the installation. John is using a Papilio One board to control the installation and connect all the parts of the system which is composed of a microphone…
