Introduction

Are you tired of the same old boring music-making methods? Well, get ready to rock your socks off with the latest tech tutorial we’ve got for you!  In this article, we’re going to show you how to use the power of the PYNQ framework on an FPGA to create sick beats using a simple floppy drive.

Yes, you read that right. It’s time to break out the floppy disks and dust off your old collection because we’re about to unleash the potential of this classic tech to create something truly unforgettable.

INTRODUCTION

This is the fourth article of a series, which aim is a feasibility study for a modular system for biopsy. In this article, we will focus on the common transformations for motor control: Clark and Park. This system is composed of the main control board based on Xilinx ZYNQ Ultrascale+ and servo satellite motor drives based on Xilinx ZYNQ-7000. Accordingly, the objective of the system is to control a robot composed of multiple joints.

So, you can execute the biopsy by driving one mechanical positioner composed of 6 PMSM motors and

This is the second article of a series, which aim is a feasibility study for a modular system composed of the main control board based on Xilinx ZYNQ Ultrascale+ and servo satellite motor drives based on Xilinx ZYNQ-7000. The objective of the system is to control a robot composed of multiple joints. The article’s target is an automation of a prostate biopsy to assist doctors during medical procedures. The biopsy is executed by driving one mechanical positioner composed of 6 Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) motors and multiple joints

Introduction

This article will talk about the Ultrasound Ultrafast Imaging modality on the new AMD-Xilinx Versal chip. The work described here is an implementation by MakarenaLabs for AMD-Xilinx and is currently in early access for customers.

To begin with, we will briefly introduce the UltraFast methodology and what does it mean.

Secondly we are going to talk about Versal and how to create and partition design on this new technology.

Lastly we are going to talk about the Ultrasound Libraries on the new Versal chip and how to exploit them.

Introduction

Welcome to part 2 of the previous article about PWM signals and PYNQ! In this article, we will show what is a servo motor and how to control a servo motor with the previous design of the PWM on the PYNQ framework, with a simple “recipe”. If you have missed the previous article, you can find it here!

So, let’s start!

What is a Servo Motor

A Servo Motor is a rotary actuator or linear actuator that allows for precise control of angular or linear position, velocity, and acceleration. Servomotors are used in applications such as

Introduction​

The topic of this article we are going to talk about the new baby born in MakarenaLabs, Pablo, a custom-made robot which is able to recognize and detect people and objects in the surrounding environment.

In short, the aim of Pablo is to showcase how to construct a robotic system from scratch by using MakarenaLabs MuseBox, IP libraries and AMD’s (former Xilinx) FPGAs.

In conclusion of the article we will

In this article, we propose a new demo that combines the potentialities of the PYNQ Z2 with the wireless communication of Bluetooth Low Energy (aka BLE). This combination paves the way for the creation of new and amazing applications.

In this article we will also focus on creating a simple BLE Server on the PYNQ Z2 and to do this we use the Bluetooth capabilities of the ESP-32 module.

Enjoy the reading 😉

The Bluetooth Module

We have chosen to use the ESP-32 WROOM 32 module for this project. Thanks to its low costs

Introduction

In this article we aim to introduce a possible solution for solving the 3D reconstruction problem. We will take advantage of the 3D Vision to reconstruct the object starting from a set Point Cloud which represents different views of the object. Firstly, we will start by detailing the difference between standard computer vision (2D) and 3D vision.

Secondly, we will detail the different stages of reconstruction, explaining a little bit about the algorithm used and different possible implementation choices. As a reference library, we are going to use the Point Cloud

IoT is an acronym for the Internet of Things, it represents a new working model based on connected devices which is used in modern companies to create new revolutionary applications.

The term [1] was coined to Kevin Ashton nowadays co-founder of Auto-ID Labs who used it for the first time in 1999 in a proposal of a pioneering project to monitor the performance and yields of the assembly lines of Procter & Gamble (P&G) through the sharing of RFID devices on the network.
