Here we have place for putting all the ideas for the practical works in combination with the GECKO4-education platform. * KEM4, here a few ideas from my side: * Class D Amplifier (Full-Bridge possibly w Sigma-Delta Modulator) * 3 Phase Motor Inverter * DC/DC-Converter (digitally controlled Up/Down-Converter) * MHT1: * Breakout board to easily access all I/Os and, e.g., connect them to a breadboard for prototyping * Board to drive 2 to 3 step motors plus some relays (e.g. for a 2-D plotter or 3-D printer). * Board with 7-segment LCD display and connector to a DCF77 antenna * Board with 2 ADCs and 2 DACs, which are sufficiently fast to be able to exploit the speed of the FPGA and realize, e.g., a DSO and arbitrary signal generator. Maybe the board should also contain some 2-port DRAM if the FPGAs own memory ressources are not sufficient. * Sensor board: accellerometers, gyrometers, temperature sensor, pressure sensor, magnetometer, IR sensor, RFID reader * adaptor for [[http://playground.arduino.cc/Main/SimilarBoards#goShie|Arduino Shields]], which would provide access to relative cheap peripherals that could be used in the projects of BTE5011-BTE5012 and BTE5021-BTE5024. E.g., a similar [[http://www.impressx.com/en-gb/products/shieldio.aspx|adaptor]] is available for the BeagleBone black. * adaptor for [[http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBone_Capes|BeagleBone Capes]] * adaptor to use the GECKO4-Education board as a BeagleBone Cape so that Roger could use it as peripheral in his courses. * HZD1 (translated by MHT1): * An adaptor board with 4 [[https://www.digilentinc.com/Pmods/Digilent-Pmod_%20Interface_Specification.pdf|PMOD]] female connectors and a 40 pin plug to connect to the existing LogicPort analyzers could be developed for the existing GECKO4-EDU board. This would allow to connect the following already bought modules: * ACM2009: SCA3000-E01 3-AXIS Ultra Low Power Accelerometer with digital SPI Interface VTI Technologies * RFR2010: RFID Reader mit EM4095 analog front end for 125kHz EM Microelectronic * IIR2012: IR Receiver mit TSOP34138 Module for Remote Control Systems * DAC2012: Digital Analog Converter mit LTC2604 Quad 16-Bit Rail-toRail DACs Linear Technologies * BMD2014: Brushless Motor Driver mit DRV8312 Three Phase PWM Motor Driver Texas Instruments * SMD2009: Step Motor Driver mit ULN2064B quad Darlington switches for Unipolar Step Motors * PmodCLP: 16x2 character LCD module Digilent * More PMOD modules are available, e.g., from [[http://digilentinc.com/Products/Catalog.cfm?NavPath=2,401&Cat=9|Digilent]], [[http://www.maximintegrated.com/en/design/design-technology/fpga-design-resources/pmod-compatible-plug-in-peripheral-modules.html|MAXIM]], and [[http://wiki.analog.com/resources/alliances/xilinx#pmods|Analog Devices]]. * 6 seven segment displays on the GECKO4-EDU board itself to realize the existing clock lab exercises * instead of the two parallel multipoint connectors more GPIOs would be advantageous * HDMI instead of VGA display interface on the GECKO4-EDU board to ensure compatibility with screens without VGA support gecko4education/ideas.txt Last modified: 2021/12/20 10:49by 127.0.0.1
