“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:…

Awesome Flying Video Camera Stabilzer Project Using Papilio
Papilio user Siou is hard at work on a killer project involving hardware and software image stabilization for a video camera “mounted to a flying machine.” The project is built around a Papilio 250K and uses a series of servo motors meant to correct the x, y, and z axes of rotation to stabilize the…

User Project: FM Radio Transmitter Built on Papilio
We found an exciting and simple project yesterday on our forums that describes how to turn your Papilio into an FM radio transmitter using nothing more than 60 lines of VHDL code and a piece of wire. The end result is an FPGA-based transmitter bleeping out “SOS” in Morse Code over FM radio. Longtime Gadget Factory…

Fractal Viewer For Papilio, Controlled By Papilio Arcade
Mike Field has written a Mandelbrot fractal generator/ viewer that runs on the Papilio platform, and he’s controlling the zoom and scroll functions with the Papilio Arcade MegaWing. We found an article over at Hackaday about this that sheds some light on the technical details of the project: “Calculations to generate the shape are being run…

FPGA Radio Project Using Papilio One 250k
GadgetFactory.net forum user Ian, who goes by “monkeydoo” recently posted the details of a project he’s been working on for a software-defined FPGA radio receiver. He’s using a Papilio One 250k, Gnu radio, and some good, old-fashioned ingenuity. We’re always really excited to see people’s projects using any of our hardware, and this one is…
