Nandland Go Board - Your FPGA Playground

Started by Russell November 23, 2015
There's a new FPGA development board on Kickstarter.  It's called the Nandland Go Board, and it aims to be an inexpensive, easy-to-use FPGA development board to learn about how FPGAs work and what they are capable of.  This board is unique because it provides a lot of options for projects built directly into the board.  It comes with: 

-        Four LEDs
-        Four Push-Button Switches
-        Two 7-Segment LED displays
-        Micro USB Connector (for Programming and Communication)
-        VGA Connector
-        External Connector

Most other FPGA development boards come with just a simple connector but the Go Board has lots of functionality built right into it.  The Kickstarter page shows a bunch of examples of what is possible using the Nandland Go Board, and it's pretty impressive.  You can even program it to play Pong!  Take a look at the Kickstarter page and pick one up today.

For the past two years I've been working on building up a large amount of examples and tutorials for people who want to learn about FPGAs.  My website www.nandland.com shows you how to get started with VHDL or Verilog, and is accessible for anyone, even if you've never used an FPGA before.  

I wanted to share with you my Kickstarter campaign which just launched.  I am hoping that you find it fun and educational.  Would you be willing to put up a short post that promotes it?  Below is an example of what you might be able to say.  I really would appreciate any support I can get, so thank you.
