  • JaxHax Video Diary: SMT Soldering Without a Stencil

    Jack builds some C/RAM (CPLD and SRAM) Wings and shows how to do SMT soldering without a stencil. JaxHax is a behind the scenes video diary of the work being done on the Open Source Papilio FPGA board. The Papilio is an Open Source community inspired by the Arduino and meant to ease people into…

  • Papilio One spotted in Jeri Ellsworth Video!

    Engineer Extraordinaire Jeri Ellsworth is working on a FPGA based Software Defined Radio that is blowing our socks off. Besides the amazing display of engineering acumen the other cause for excitement is that while she is not using the Papilio One, not enough DSP blocks, she is using a Papilio VGA Wing! Check it out:…
