In this video we will be having a closer look at a budget friendly FPGA board. Now FPGAs are super fast and can do pretty much anything when it comes to digital electronics. So way better than microcontrollers, right? Well, I will show you how easy you can use them and why I would often times avoid them. Let's get started!
