Hi everyone,
I would like to buy my first FPGA strarter board, I don't have any experience with FPGA.
To begin, I would like to make on FPGA a counter for analog device. Then, i would like to make a Multichannel Analyzer.
But I can't choose between Digilent Spartan 3E Starter Board and Digilent Basys2 FPGA Board. I can't decide whether I need all the features that contain Digilent Spartan 3E Starter Board. Maybe better to buy Digilent Basys2 FPGA Board. For instance, if I will decide to create a project with ADC and FPGA. I can do it with some ADC(DIP case) assembled on BreadBoard and connect all it to Digilent Basys2 FPGA Board. Perhaps in this case it will be more cheaper. To buy Digilent Basys2 FPGA Board and will buy other components when it will be necessary. In this case it will be more cheaper? And it is more useful, because, i need to think carefully how to connect the ADC and the FPGA, that it worked and etc. Or better to buy Digilent Spartan 3E Starter Board that contains a lot of features, because I don't have any experience with FPGA.
Please advise.
