[@akshaygupta3624]

Finally someone in the maker community take the flag and started tutorials on FPGA. Thanks a lot

[@iceberg789]

are you working on fpga yet ?

[@ELECTRONOOBS]

Want to help my workshop: www.patreon.com/ELECTRONOOBS Thank you so much!

[@abdullahalsalmani8062]

This is an amazing video that got me introduced to FPGAs. I find this series really helpful and comprehensive. Thank you!

[@pirateman1966]

God forbid if someone misspeaks, or has a brain fart. Like saying fifteen instead of fifty. The comment section will go nuts, jumping in with the correction. I like to see any of you speak a second language and not make any mistakes. Get a life people.

[@GRBtutorials]

And what if it's his second language? That mistake could have been made by a native speaker as well!

[@Nono-hk3is]

I do appreciate this series. Thanks!

[@garethronaldo8692]

noice 😂 now you should do something pretty with it huge project that took u few episodes so we can enjoy everyone of it

[@midianalbertokhaiyow8195]

muy bueno como siempre, FPGA son otro nivel.. una pregunta al ser el FPGA un sistema en donde todo ocurre simultáneamente, a la hora de programar no hay q tener un cuenta un orden o secuencia especifico para cada ejecución ? cierto?

[@hemantmundhe6662]

Nice demonstration

I actually found a website cheaper than JLC PCB, the basic package JLC offer is definitely cheaper, however once you start adding features like different board colours and so on the price rockets on JLC.

[@GRBtutorials]

Which one? Also, options are pricey because you order small quantities. If you order more, the price per boards gets much lower.

[@nxvasix8696]

GRBTutorials Elecrow.com, as I said it may seem like JLC are cheaper but once you start adding features to the board like different colours, the price rockets.

[@GRBtutorials]

Seems like the only thing you tried is different solder mask colours. I've used PCBShopper to compare (ordering 10 PCBs) and JLCPCB was always cheaper, except when I chose a different colour and when I chose HASL Lead-free (which is only important if you're going to sell a product using that board, and in that case, it was only a few cents difference total). But on all other options (copper width, ENIG, layers), JLCPCB is significantly cheaper (a few euros/dollars) when it comes to ordering 10 PCBs. However, when it comes to ordering 100 or 1000 PCBs for production, Elecrow is better as it provides certification. But for that case, PCBCart is a better option. Conclusion: unless you really want so badly a different colour solder mask at the lowest price, JLCPCB is still the way to go!

[@nxvasix8696]

GRBTutorials if you want lead free solder on JLC it’ll cost you like another $4, if you want colour their going to charge you another $9-11 plus postage. Postage from Elecrow is dirt cheap maybe $5 compared to JLCs $7-9 (Chinese air mail)

[@duncanx99]

I did the technical review of a book on FPGAs and, as a result, spent a lot of time programming them in a development board environment. They're interesting and a great learning experience at dev board level but totally impractical for most makers at any level beyond experimentation. Programming raw chips is next to impossible and incorporating them and their support circuitry on a PCB is the same. If you want 10,000 (or more) of them pre-programmed from your design and assembled and tested in the Far East, then they may be a good option - for everything else, sadly, they're impractical. But, as I said, they're a great learning experience and wonderful for experimentation.

[@pirateman1966]

If there is a need for many I/O pins that has to respond faster than a software emulation, FPGAs are mandatory. Try making an 100 MHz Oscilloscope or a low-jitter 32 channel R/C servo controller, or a 32 channel logic analyzer using a micro, and you'll hit a brick wall before you even start. You'll have to either design the hardware using discrete ICs, or use an FPGA. No other choice.

[@GRBtutorials]

Why are they so difficult to program and incorporate to PCBs? I've never had a problem programming them. And if you want 10 000 chips, an ASIC (converted from FPGA) starts to become the best solution, the prices are falling.

[@vandrangivenkatesh2836]

Good video, when can we expect the next one?

[@maximf221192]

how can i add enable switch for it to work only on press of button?

[@MCsCreations]

Amazing board, dude... But too much over complicated for me. 😕

[@thomasa5619]

Can you explain the differences between fpga, other industry standards, and for example, arduino?

[@johndripper]

You can design the logic gates inside the FPGA with verilog or VHDL so you can create any device using an FPGA like a processor, memory, MCU etc etc arduino is just an MCU you can't reprogram how it is wired up inside meaning you can't change its logic gates just how it uses those logic

[@johndripper]

So if u want u can create an atmel328p(arduno ) ic inside an FPGA ;)

[@thomasa5619]

@@johndripper well I work with railway machinery controlled by PLC as I understand it, PLC is mostly similar to Arduino, rasp Pi is more like a slow computer with custom IO and an FPGA is on the other side of the spectrum as if you’ve built your own custom chip

[@arkillerking1519]

Sir. I have only one question. Can I ask.

[@AhmedHasan-li1mi]

Thanks a Lot

[@RandyLott]

One downside to FPGAs is they typically require complex power systems due to their multiple banks and separate cores.

[@duality4y]

Not always true

[@princebansal383]

👌 nice

[@GRBtutorials]

Wait, but the USB Blaster powers your board? My USB Blaster clone doesn’t, the FPGA board needs an external PSU.

[@ELECTRONOOBS]

Doesn't. It has another usb for 5V. Keep up!

[@wowkidz3708]

agradable> pero por favor haga la IMPRESORA 3D dyi (BARATO, FÁCIL, Dimensiones exactas del marco) que sería increíble porfavoreeeeee el video más exigente. Hay tantos videos en la impresora 3D pero nadie da las dimensiones del marco> haga un video en él plsssssss

[@stevesjohnson6912]

Is it possible to build a CPU with fpga

[@vinuprasad6846]

Yeah..I have heard many of the processors can be built inside fpgas..but ofcourse its cheaper to buy the processor itself i guess..

[@mrsel3558]

50 is fifty not fifteen

[@wowkidz3708]

nice > but please make dyi 3D PRINTER (CHEAP ,EASY ,Exact Dimensions of frame) that would be awesome pleaseeeeeee most demanding video.there is so many videos on 3d printer but no one give dimensions of frame >please make video on it plsssssss

[@GRBtutorials]

And what about a universal CNC machine?

[@jaishankarm5920]

Super

[@raghavsrivastava2910]

Great!

[@johnnyariasromero6547]

que bueno, pero deberías hacerlo en tu otro canal por fa!!!

[@mr.frozty5324]

i'm pretty sure you said fifteen instead of fifty. that part makes me confuse

[@pirateman1966]

Can you read? It says 50 on the crystal. Doesn't take much to confuse you!

[@ELECTRONOOBS]

A msitake during voice-over. It's 50!!!! Keep up!

[@pirateman1966]

FPGAs are way too complicated for makers. So many hoops to jump over! Unless there is a need for fast signal processing (like an O'Scope), FPGAs are way too costly on top of being too complicated to learn and implement.

[@fkiesel9442]

Price isn't the issue. Also FPGAs are widely used in the industry, just not in consumer products. For example most of the cellular network base stations will contain huge FPGAs. The issue for most people is, that writing a FPGA hardware description is nothing like programming a computer. It is a completely different way of thingking. The data flow is usually completely different. You can do things in a FPGA, a sofware developer doesn't even dream of. It is just a completely diffrent skillset than software development.

[@GRBtutorials]

And don't forget the power consumption and the size! It's definitely not for blinking LEDs (unless the blinking pattern is very complex and you have hundreds of LEDs). For most cases, MCUs are fine. However, when you want parallelization and very fast processing, implementation (not emulation, with FPGAs you program hardware directly) of arbitrary CPUs and other complex logical devices, etc., FPGAs are the best solution (short of an ASIC).

[@davidrubio8673]

also they have a lack the use of interfaces like serial,i2c,spi unless you bit bang them but that is hard to do

[@GRBtutorials]

david rubio That’s the good thing about FPGAs: you can do pretty much anything you want digitally. Sure, it might be a bit more difficult, but you have more freedom.

[@akshaygupta3624]

@@davidrubio8673 Dude you are wrong about FPGA lacking SPI, I2C and UART, may be you should check some of the Digilent boards with Xilinx FPGAs.
