CircuitLab - online schematic editor & circuit simulator. Why another Hardware Processor? « Python Hardware Processor. Hardware description languages are good for particular problems (e.g parallel memory calculation jobs). But it is tough to handle sequential execution problems with them. For such problems the sequential execution of a programm often fits well. A standard solution would be to use a Microcontroller Core (e.g. from Opencores written in VHDL). To programm this Microcontroller often the C programming language is used. The C code is converted to Assembler and the Assembler code is then loaded into the Microcontroller. To accomplish such a task you at least need a C programming environment and a VHDL programming enviroment and you need a chain between them create and load the Assembler. What if you could write your Microcontroller Code in the same environment where you describe your hardware. Like this: Like Loading...

Basic Circuits

An introduction to stepper motors. If you’ve been reading Hack a Day for long enough, you know about our infatuation with stepper motors. These precious little devices put the oomph into our CNC routers, 3D printers, robots, and other miscellaneous projects. Steppers aren’t your run-of-the-mill motors, though. [Steaky] posted a great introduction to stepper motors that lets you hit the ground running building any moving project you could imagine. Apart from identifying a stepper and figuring out if it works, [Steaky] goes over how to make these motors turn.

We’ve pulled more than our fair share of steppers from flatbed scanners and old printers.

Kids Electronics. App note: CPLD special function pins. Here is some basic information about special CPLD pin functions you might need when getting started with Xilinx or any other CPLD: Global Clock (GCK) pins Many high-speed digital logic designs need a clock signal that reaches all components simultaneously. While any CPLD pin can input a clock signal and distribute it to the design, GCK pins and their internal connections are optimized for clock signals. They are designed to have minimum skew rates, and that all the connection lengths are the same to allow for perfect synchronicity between devices.

Global Set/Reset (GST) pins When designing projects that use flip-flops it may be necessary to reset all of them simultaneously. Global tri-state (GTS) pins The GTS pin is optimized to toggle all the other pins between input and output. Laser Tape Measure Hacking.

Software. Microcontroller. Linear Pot - Motorized (10k linear) Description: These motorized sliders are very cool. Each is essentially a standard slide pot which is belt-driven by a small motor. The slide contains two separate 10k audio taper potentiometers so that you can use one as servo-feedback in order to read the position of the slider and use the other to control whatever your target is. There is also a touch sense line which is electrically connected directly to the metal slider tab so that you can interface the slider with capacitive touch circuitry.

Motorized potentiometers are useful when you need the ability to jump to preset positions or when you want physical feedback from virtual controllers. There are also a variety of unconventional uses for these potentiometers such as pulsing the motor to provide haptic feedback or just using it as a linear actuator for super light-duty robotics.
