[chbot] FPGA Topic ...

A Resend to see if I can evade the 'you are not human' bot... as a new Topic.

Hi All,

I have supported the Altera FPGA in Australia and New Zealand for the last 17 years - I head up the technical support for Braemac supporting Altera.

I can run a hands on session one evening if enough folks are interested ?  I have some dev kits I can bring to run a processor, flash LED's etc... if that would be useful / handy?

I am currently working on BLDC control with FPGA directly to measure the BEMF with the LVDS inputs (Cyclone 3) - of course FET bridges to drive the windings, got the motor to 65,000 RPM... have torn that demo down now re-doing with MAX10

I didn't want this to be a platform to sell, but if enough are interested I am happy to impart -I speak Verilog / System Verilog as my first language  - and VHDL at a pinch.

Steve.
