I am amazed at the popularity of FPGA in this Project14 poll. Considering how much time, money and effort it takes to do an FPGA project, there must be a bunch of people already high up the learning curve with mostly complete projects already on the go. I am curious to know what projects people had in mind when voting for this category. I guess if it gets selected we will find out.
Actually, I am not that surprised that the FPGA is popular. The boards that are available today are quite cheap and the tools are getting better and easier to program with. I believe some of the FPGA issues seen recently have to do with them being embedded on another system that is not fully cooked such as the Arduino MKR Vidor 4000 or use older tools such as Xilinx ISE.
The TinyFPGA is a good example of a simple and cheap FPGA.
