  • How to Whack a Mole with your FPGA, but Not Physically!

    Good day FPGA Enthusiasts! FPGAs can be used for a versatile set of applications from real time engineering solutions to building funny games. Today’s post is going to focus on the latter where we build yet another game concept using a FPGA board (you may need to adapt your own). The game in consideration is…

  • 7-Step Tutorial to Create a Nine Shine LED Timer Game with FPGA

    Hello FPGA lovers! FPGAs are versatile tools that can be used for research, analysis, engineering applications and entertainment. Today’s project falls into the last category! The nine shine LED game is an interactive game that tests your sense of timing. It consists of an array of LEDs that are turned on sequentially, and you need…

  • Build Your Own Globe of Persistence with FPGA

    Hey there FPGA lovers! The human eye is far from being perfect, and this imperfection helps us in coming up with a lot of ideas and products (take the television for example!). Today’s post exploits the Human eye’s persistence of vision to build a globe of persistence using FPGA. These globes can be used to…

  • How to Create a Visual Audio Spectrum with a FPGA in 5 Steps

      Hello FPGA lovers! Today’s post is an interesting one which helps us visualize the audio spectrum with the help of your FPGA and an LED strip. Using a VGA cable, the spectrum can be visualised in a computer monitor as well. The microphone on the FPGA used (you may need to adapt this to…

  • Critical Tips to Build Your Own C88 Homebrew Computer with FPGA

    Greetings FPGA lovers! Today’s post is about building your own mini computer using FPGA. The project has been inspired by the first SSEM, popularly called the Manchester baby. The project resembles its inspiration in certain aspects, but being a homemade CPU with minimal components and coding, the specs are not as formidable as the SSEM.…

  • 9 Steps to Create a LED FSM to Measure Power with FPGA

    Hi there FPGA geeks! Power monitoring is a big step when it comes to analysis and subsequent models used for power conservation. The project for today is building an FSM (finite state machine) with a LED as its output and FPGA as its core to measure the power output by the LED when it is…

  • Lose Yourself in the LED Timer Game with FPGA

    Hey FPGA lovers! If you have ever been a fan of arcade games, here is a chance for you to re live the glory days! The LED timer game with FPGA consists of an LED-button interfacing with FPGA. The project is really simple to implement and it is a great first project for FPGA aspirants.…

  • Craft Your Own Bit Runner Game Using FPGA

    Hello FPGA fans! Today’s project is going to be a great domain for you to have a bit of fun (once you’ve completed it) and learn more aspects about FPGA and applications in shift registers and button interfacing with FPGA. The project is based on a bit runner game, and for those unfamiliar with what…
