Hardware suggestions for learning projects....
Hi everyone. I will be helping run a course in embedded design (using Altera FPGAs). For my part I am wanting to develop projects for students who wish to get into robotics and motor control in general. I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions on pieces of kit that I could buy such as driver b...

Hi I agree with all thats been said so far but if you are going to get into microcontrollers in a big way it would be a good idea to have a look at assembly language. Although the array of assembly languages is mind boggling, they do give you a much better feel for the hardware involved and give muc...

Well it does depend on how much data you would like to store. A whole OS seems over the top to me. It is possible to hook up an FPGA to a USB, some Flash memeory and an LCD but doing it in C would be painful, Verilog or some other hardware discription language would be the way to go. Have a look at ...

Dont know how much background knowledge you have, but some pointers for you. Look up PWM (pulse width modulation) for speed control. Also DO NOT drive the motors direct from a PIC, use some sort of buffer or transistor arragement. The switching on/off of motor can serverly damage a PIC. Also look up...
