Additive Synthesis Using Altera DE2-70 FPGA
We found an interesting video on YouTube demonstrating additive synthesis on an FPGA – in this case an Altera DE2 board. These guys have set up a MIDI controller keyboard to send note-on, note-off, and velocity for each note played to the DE2. The DE2 has been programmed with VHDL to decode the MIDI messages,…

Some Cool Ideas For Hacking With The RetroCade
Hola, amigos! We found some cool videos on YouTube showing what other folks are doing with FPGA audio synthesis that we’d like to share with you. You may find some inspiration/ hacking ideas herein; these are just some of things that are possible with FPGA synths (such as our own RetroCade Synth)! There are some…

Linux on the Papilio Pro?
Linux on the Papilio Pro? Alvaro Lopes has Linux running on the ZPUino simulator and expects it to run on PPro soon! Watch the video of Linux running on the ZPUino simulator, everything including the SD card is simulated and helped him speed up the porting process. Now that everything is working in the simulator…

Recycled junked laptop LCD driven by the Papilio Plus
Papilio user Alex has managed to drive an LCD screen with his Papilio Plus Board. He used an old broken laptop that was left unused for a long time and took the LCD apart which is a 15″ panel with 1280×800 pixel native resolution to try to drive it with the Papilio Plus FPGA board and…

Undocumented Dx display running with an FPGA
He everyone! Today we got another great FPGA based project for you that we found over at hamsterworks.co.nz. Mike Field a.k.a Hamster wanted to use an undocumented display board from Deal Extreme with an FPGA board but as mentioned in the title there was absolutely no documentation available for this display except an Arduino Library written…

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…
