  • Control Servo Motors with FPGA to Build Something Big

    Hi FPGA enthusiasts! Today’s project is a crucial one since it can play a pivotal role in building any major project with FPGAs. The exercise under question is controlling servo motors with FPGA, and this can be of great use on any project that involves servo motors and FPGA. Once you get comfortable with this, you…

  • Control a Servo Motor with Your FPGA

    Hello FPGA lovers! Great stuff here today. I have come across an article that gives you great details about how to control a RC Servo with a FPGA. There many versions for RC servos but basically all of them use a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signal to control their position. Servos should receive 5 V…

  • 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.…

  • New Tutorial – PWM outputs on Papilio FPGA

    In this tutorial you will learn how to use the PWM outputs of your Papilio FPGA board. For this particular step-by-step article, we have connected a button LED Wing to Wing slot AL. Basically you will be able to write a sketch that uses a PWM on any pin. We have only used 6 pins…

  • You´ve got the Power in your hand or, better said, in the Wheel of your mouse!

      https://youtu.be/cWH4kVPpL3Y Today´s article will teach you how to build a system to control big power. You can use it to manage a simple light bulb or a 0.5 kW motor without having to change a single line of code. The key of this design is the implementation of a widely-used jellybean wheel from a…
