- sanderjd 12y agoVery cool. What tooling are you using? I've found the world of FPGA tools to be bewildering to the point that I've abandoned my projects and my Nexys3 languishes in a drawer.
- jck 12y agoI would suggest using myhdl (www.myhdl.org), and then plugging the verilog/vhdl it generates into your vendor's tools.
- sanderjd 12y agoVery neat, thanks.
- kregasaurusrex 12y agoThank you! I'm looking on the internet for help/books also.
- kregasaurusrex 12y agoIt's still in the idea stages, why my original idea of sending an FPGA doing active video processing would be computationally and energy expensive, where transmitting a low-latency signal to a processing unit on the ground wouldn't cost an arm and a leg. I'm looking at a ZYNQ-7000 board because the free eBook by Xilinx looked very approachable to a newbie at hardware design. If optimized properly, I'd hope to be able to integrate the quadcopter controls onto a better fpga and be a single unit. It's gonna be an all-summer project.
