Using Vivado’s Built-in Simulator to Debug Designs
A classic interaction between a new FPGA user and an embattled older engineer (whether on our Forums or elsewhere) goes as follows: New engineer: My design doesn’t work, could you …

Acquiring and Measuring FM Radio Frequencies From Your Desktop Overview Using Waveforms’ Oscilloscope or Spectrum Analyzer instruments to acquire the typical FM radio frequencies is just one of the capabilities …
In this last installment of our four-part blog series about creating a smart lamp, we will bring everything together. The HAL for the WaveForms SDK we developed in the Part …
Using Additional Software to View Date Remotely Now that we’ve created a working distributed data collection and display system (see parts 1 through 4), let’s briefly explore other software packages available …
Distributing the Applications to View the Data Remotely The goal of this article series is to demonstrate how to create a data acquisition system on one system, and view the …
Creating an Application to View Data with VB.NET In Part 2, we created a working application to read telemetry from sensors connected to a USB-2408, write the telemetry or data to …
In this third issue of our four-part blog post series covering the creation of a smart LED-lamp, we are designing the Android app controlling brightness and state of the LED. …
This is second part in this series. Part 1 – Setting Up an MS Database Part 3 – Creating an Application to View Data Part 4 – Distributing Applications Part …
This is the first part of a series of four blog posts where we will design a smart RGB-lamp which is powered by a battery and controlled through an app …
Temperature Two-Point Controller A control system manages and regulates the behavior of a device or a system. There are many types of control systems: open-loop, closed-loop, logic, two-point, linear, proportional, …
Editor’s Note – In this series, we will take a behind the scenes look at how an engineer tackles a project from beginning to end. What challenges will come up? …

Data rates on serial and parallel transmission lines are increasing rapidly. So are the data integrity issues developers face. Eye diagrams make their life easier. Higher data rates in telecommunications …
Ever wonder why oscilloscopes require bulky BNC cables with those fancy switches, while multimeters seem content with plain wires? The key lies in how these instruments handle electronic measurements. One …
Digilent has partnered with CircuitBread to create high-quality electrical engineering lessons on the topic of DC Circuits. Utilizing Digilent’s resources and engineers in conjunction with CircuitBread’s experience in educational content, …
A software-defined radio (SDR) is not a radio in the traditional sense. Instead of fixed analog components with limited range and ability, an SDR is programmable and highly flexible. Referred …
