Inaugural Post

Well I've got no idea what I'm doing but hello there whoever is reading this. I'm a student getting a undergrad in electrical engineering. I also mess around with old and modern computers and build my own props. I like to learn anything I can. Right now I'll probably just talk about learning FPGAs and logic design since that's what I'm doing this semester. Not much to say yet since I only just got the DE0-CV and breadboard but I'll probably have plenty to talk about soon.

Right the big thing is just figuring out how to even do something basic with the DE0. I've been looking around for various tutorials or even basic videos that start from ground floor and teach how everything works and I've had little luck finding anything. I've resorted to actually reading the manual. First lab is tomorrow so I'll hopefully learn some basics on how to actually use Quartus.

    Well I did a little test here with a small sample size, but the results are less than exciting... Now, it's possible that the circuit board I used for this experiment is below the required standards that…

    Welcome to the forum.  There are a lot of friendly and knowledgeable members here who can help you learn about FPGAs and everything else.  You can also help the community learn by sharing your ideas and projects.

    Enjoy!

    Hello, welcome to element14!

     

    As Phil and John have said, there's loads of people around here with plenty of experience in pretty much any aspect of electronic design you can imagine. If you are posting up a lot about FPGA's in the coming months there are quite a few of us to have done or still do FPGA design as part of our daily work. It was my main focus for quite a number of years but in recent years I have diversified into other areas. You'll find plenty of interested people when you start posting up about what you are doing and problems you are facing I'm sure image

     

    Good luck with your first lab!

    Hi,

    Welcome to the forum. Sounds like the manual will be your friend but don't hesitate to ask if you have questions. You will likely be over my head but fortunately we have some really smart guys that hang out here.

    John
