Test application for the FPGA Tibbit in the smart LED controller configuration

This application example shows how to connect and use RGBW LED stripe with TPS hardware platform. The main difficulty is that LEDs have their own color generation circuit inside. New FPGA Tibbit #57 can generate fast PWM signal, which is needed for proper LEDs operation. Also, the...

TFoC: FPGA & Forth = VGA

Here is a fun project, created from start to finish by Matthias Koch: In itself, this is no big deal. The generated pattern is a 16x16 expanded pixel image, and 640x480 displays are pretty basic by now - although they’re fine for presenting text-mode information and retro...
