i am a student i need a good project with ready files to test my spartan -3 starter kit , i prefer a project in industry field ( controll motor as example )
but if you are more interested in control and industrial applications then you can think of a steel mill or an assembly line of a car. you can implement a real time system which will control the whole system. interface displays, sensors and motors with you FPGA to show how your industry will work and i bet it would be a really cool project.
but if you are like me then make a robot. and i would say try to make a robotic arm. its really easy to implement provided that you have the mechanical assembly of the arm.
hi
there is too many industrial applications like
Robotics , CNC controller , small PLC Like the TRI-LOG from singapore , intellegent Battry charger , Speed measuirment , temperature controller and so many others .....
try to go to epanorama.com and u will find great applications
yes you can easily implement FIR and viterbi in a spartan-3 device. i did a project in which i used a simple 4-tap FIR filter with a hamming encoder and a UART and i remember that it didnt consume much space. i would recommend you to download the book "Digital Signal Processing with FPGAs"
as for the viterbi encoder, go to https://www.opencores.org you will find alot there. there are many other things that you can do in an FPGA, like hamming, CRC, reed solomon and other types of line coding schemes.
so first determine what subject are you most interested in. like maybe you might be good in signal processing or something else. once you determine what you want to do, the rest is just details.
and if you still want to do something related to motor control then you can make a servo controller using an FPGA. you can implement PID or fuzzy logic in an FPGA. but that all depends on your interest in the subject.
yes you can easily build a robotic arm with a spartan-3 device. but that depends on what the robotic arm will do. if you want to make an intelligent arm that will also have image and speech recognition then it might be difficult but not impossible. but if your arm has just 5 or 6 motors then its easy. you can use DC motors with positional feedback (servo) or you can use stepper motors. that depends on the availability of the components in your area.
the problem is the mechanical design. if you have knowledge of using a lathe machine, drill press, metal press then its a piece of cake for you. or you can buy the OWI-007 robotic arm trainer kit which has all the mechanical parts but no control electronics. that might simplify you design as you only have to design the control part with a spartan 3
hey does anybody among you know how to design a variable power supply using FPGA?
please reply soon if anybody knows the excat scheme...and if some1 has related material to this project i will be very thankful :|
why use an FPGA for a variable power supply. its like cracking a nut with a sledghammer. any microcontroller with a PWM module can do this kind of thing. if you visit microchip and atmel's website you will be able to find some 8-pin or 18-pin microcontroller with a PWM module.
When we talk about FPGA then it means that we will be going for some big, complex, industrial or complete system on it ... as basic thing is BOM (Bill of Material) and if you go for high BOM no one will accept your product at industrial level ... and also its a bit non sense ...
I feel one better and more acceptable idea in industry at that time is HandHeld ...
Go for some kind of Simple Handheld ... but first decide the Targeted customer of your Device ... and wish you good Luck
well what i have seen is an article on this,saying that this power supply will have very reduced circuitry attached with it abd ofcourse reprogrammable.
the same is the case when you will use a microcontroller. it will reduce the circuitry attached and it will be reprogrammable. there is no difference in this regard.
