Breadboarding a Lattice Semiconductor ICE40UP5K-SG48 FPGA
After working with the WebFPGA (fantastic device, check it out!: https://webfpga.io/) I wanted to learn how the individual components of the device function. An STM32 microcontroller is used for communication and programming. The actual...
Dive into STM32 Microcontrollers!
Working on the WebFPGA – which is a fantastic learning tool check it out (https://webfpga.io/) – and I noticed it uses an STM32 microcontroller (likely for programming the FPGA when it starts up). Well,...
Adding a Motor Encoder to your Project!
I found a motor controller on a powermax II stepper motor and decided to try to see how it works. Took some playing around but after finding some wiring bugs it works really well...
