New and Exciting

dougw

What is the most exciting technology you discovered or rediscovered this year?
This is not a question about significant leading edge technologies, it is just about what you currently find exciting.

Are you into VR? Like Meta Quest 3 or Apple Vision Pro
Are you into computers? Like Raspberry Pi 5 or Apple iMac M3
Are you into e-bikes - a massive trend
Are you into Machine Learning? Like Huskylens
Are you into RISK V or FPGAs? Like BeagleV Fire
Are you into AI? Like CHATGPT

Are you into robots and automation? Like commercial drone applications or self-driving cars

Are you into communications technology? Like SDR

Are you into gaming technology? (and games)

Re you into retro electronics? Like vinyl audio or tube amps

Are you into test instrumentation? and setting up a great lab

Are you into software/firmware? Like RTOS or real-time LINUX on microcontrollers

Or all of the above?

What turns your crank these days?

What is on your wish list?

What courses do you need to take?

  • After a few months away from electronics, I'm trying to pick up again what I was doing with DSP on FPGAs.

    Finishing the fast CORDIC, doing a project of some sort with it, trying out the iCEstick, and all that.

    I'd like to try designing a specialised co-processor in an FPGA. I've tentatively thought of trying for something that could work reasonably efficiently with binary quadratic forms to do simple number theory stuff; maybe implent Shanks' Square-Forms Factorization on it. I don't suppose it would be much of a speed-up over what could be done with a modern, high-end PC, but I'd be doing it for the interest, to learn the theory better, and to improve my VHDL coding.

    I'd also like to do more with the ADALM1000. Maybe try and extend the capability of the pin driver, or something along those lines, as well as more experimenting with analogue electronics generally.
