I tell you – I don't know whether I'm coming or going at the moment – the Design West 2013 Conference and Exhibition is almost upon us -- and I for one will be a busy little bee.
Woodstock Meets CapNet at Design West
Max Maxfield 3/27/2013 18 comments
I bet you are thinking there's no way I can link the original Woodstock Festival from 1969 with our wireless mesh networked propeller beanies in 2013. Well, stand back and give me some room...
What Do You Know About PCBs?

It would be wonderful for us to have a PCB layout expert as a blogger here on AP) – someone who could keep us all abreast of the latest developments in the circuit board world, and also answer any questions we may have when creating our next masterpiece.
Opal Kelly: The Little Modules That Could!

Imagine the scene in the dim and distant future where a group of grizzled old designers are sharing tales of derring-do... and one designer says in hushed tones "Well, I was at Design West 2013 when CapNet was first unveiled!"

Can statistical or heuristic verification really work for FPGA designs?
One of the things I've been wondering is whether or not the "okWireOR" module is really just a giant OR, or if the order in which things are attached matters.
I am shocked and horrified. It appears that those little scamps at Planet Analog are writing blogs pertaining to field-programmable issues.
This week's live online chat takes place on Thursday, May 23, 2013, at 1:00 p.m. ET.
Duane has decided that the time is ripe to get his ZedBoard bolted onto his robot with a Linux distribution up and running. That was the ultimate plan anyway, so why wait?
