FPGA Night (7 Oct, 7-10 PM)

By proto on October 6, 2014

We finished creating the new FIFO backed RX module. This class we will spend a lot of time playing around in the simulator. We will be creating procedures to send test data as well as read data from the FIFO. The slides for the upcoming and previous classes can be found here. The slides are […]

4 Year Anniversary Party

By forgotten on October 3, 2014

As of this month, Unallocated Space has occupied our current building due to your generosity. We want to celebrate 4 years of great times and cool hacks by hosting a potluck party on October 25th starting at 2pm. Please mention what your going to bring at http://www.perfectpotluck.com/meals.php?t=GYTO5348&v=c0aa515b83 (User Pw 6667) Activities Fire tornado Pumpkin Hacking […]

FPGA Night (30 Sep, 7-10 PM)

By proto on September 28, 2014

We finished a full serial UART in the last class. In this class we will be adding a FIFO to the RX module. This will enable the UART to buffer data that is read so that the parent module does not have to immediately read the incoming data. We will not be doing any testing […]

Monday Electronics Fundamentals Class Series – NEW

By forgotten on September 24, 2014

Starting Monday, October 20th the Electronics Fundamentals class will begin! The class will kick off around 7pm and run until about 9pm. The first class will be all theory but it will be the foundation for every other class to follow. We’ll be covering things like what electricity is, what an electron is, units such […]

FPGA Night (23 Sept, 7-10 PM)

By proto on September 21, 2014

In the last class we completed the serial receiver. In this class we will be creating a serial transmitter. Once the transmitter is complete, we will make a mater module that contains both the transmitter and receiver. Then we will connect rx to tx (loopback) and make sure everything is working as planned! If time […]

FPGA Night (16 Sept, 7-10PM)

By proto on September 14, 2014

We will be creating a UART receiver that will get data from the serial port of the Arduino Micro boards. If you have a board that has a serial port built in, you can also use that directly. All boards will be programmed ahead of time and source code will be available. If you have […]

FPGA Night (9 Sep, 7-10 PM)

By proto on September 7, 2014

We will be using 3.3 volt Arduino Mini boards that are programmed to act like SRAM. A basic data sheet will be created to help guide development of a VHDL module. Development will be done on your own with a slideshow that gives hints. More chip options other than SRAM might be available by class […]

FPGA Night (26 Aug, 7-10PM)

By proto on August 24, 2014

We didn’t get through all of the sides in the last class. This class will be picking up with adding LEDs to the design. At a minimum, we should be able to get the LEDs to display the analog values. If there is time left over, we will add VGA to the design so that […]

Intro to Soldering 7/25 7p-9p

By forgotten on August 18, 2014

When: Monday, August 25th 7 to 9pm If you want to learn how to solder or maybe just brush up on your soldering skills, come by UAS for our soldering class. We will be putting together the WeevilEye kits donated to UAS by Sparkfun! These kits are suitable for all ages and skill levels. We […]

FPGA Night (19 Aug, 7-10PM)

By proto on August 17, 2014

We will be switching gears from VGA and moving into interfacing with an SPI-like analog to digital converter (ADC). Specifically the MCP3001. For those of you attending in person, I will have enough on hand for you to use. This chip will allow us to sample an analog voltage using the FPGA. For the first […]

FPGA Night (Aug 12, 7-10PM)

By proto on August 10, 2014

This will be the last class of VGA before switching to a different topic. We will be covering how to control the color output of the new VGA module. The instructor will give an example of how to draw bars. The rest of the class will be dedicated to each person doing one of the […]

FPGA Night (5 Aug, 7-10PM) — CANCELLED

By proto on August 3, 2014

There is a good chance I will not be in the available on the 5th. I am calling the class just in case. We will pick back up with the VGA module on the 12th.

FPGA Night (29 July, 7-10PM)

By proto on July 27, 2014

We will be creating a VHDL library to hold a function that determines how many bits are needed to represent a decimal number, then creating a record that can be used to configure vga_solid. If there is time at the end, then we will begin the process of converting vga_solid to make use of the […]
