  I'm totally into my FPGA. Embedded Micro is supposed to be announcing a new FPGA based on the new Artix 7 FPGA chip that will allow me to run the new Vivado design suite from Xilinx. I'm currently using the very outdated ISE tool (it's like using Microsoft Front Page

• Pong on the Mojo Revisited

  In my previous post , I briefly discussed the implementation of a pseudo-pong game on my Mojo FPGA developer board. I was able to implement the VHDL version that I linked to later in the post and it works much better. The biggest challenge I had with it was converting the
