-====== Anchor Demonstration Board ====== 
- 
-==== Introduction ==== 
-Anchor Electronics sells a selection of new and surplus Demand Peripherals boards. 
-The project described on this page gives Anchor customers a quick, visual 
-introduction to the Demand Peripherals product line and and open-source peripherals. 
- 
- 
-==== Overview ==== 
-{{ ::anchordemo.jpg?200|}}This page is organized as follows: 
-  * Peripheral and hardware selection 
-  * Physical construction and wiring notes 
-  * Linux configuration 
-  * Applications 
-    * distance 
-    * rgbled 
-    * demomotor 
- 
-==== Peripheral and Hardware Selection ==== 
-Our goal was to give Anchor customers a simple demonstration of the capabilities of the Demand Peripherals software defined peripherals. There are three separate applications running on the demo system. 
- 
-The first  is an ultrasonic distance sensor whose reading are displayed on a 6 digit LCD.  The distance is shown in inches and tenths of an inch.  We use the us8 peripheral ([[http://exampldemandperipherals.com/peripherals/us8.htmle.com|us8]]) and card ([[https://demandperipherals.com/cards/us8.htmlh|us8]]).  The distance is shown in inches using the lcd6 peripheral ([[http://https://demandperipherals.com/peripherals/lcd6.html|lcd6]]) and the lcd6 card ([[http://https://demandperipherals.com/cards/lcd6.html|lcd6]]). The sensor is an Adafruit HC-SR04 ([[https://www.adafruit.com/product/3942|HC-SR04]]). 
- 
-The second application uses a quad slide potentiometer peripheral ([[https://demandperipherals.com/peripherals/slide4.html|slide4]]) and card ([[https://demandperipherals.com/cards/slider4.html|slider4]]) to control the red-green-blue brightness of a string of eight WS2812 LEDs from Adafruit ([[https://www.adafruit.com/product/1426|NeoPixel Stick]]). 
- 
-The third application uses a rotary encoder to control the speed and direction of a DC motor.  The RPM speed of the motor is displayed on a second 6 digit LCD.  The rotary encoder peripheral and card are the rotary encoder interface ([[https://demandperipherals.com/peripherals/roten.html|roten]]) and the rotary encoder card([[https://demandperipherals.com/cards/roten.html|roten]]). We use a DC gearhead motor from Adafruit ([[https://www.adafruit.com/product/4416|Geared DC Motor]]).  The motor is controlled with the dual DC motor controller peripheral ([[https://demandperipherals.com/peripherals/dc2.html|DC2]]) and the dual H-bridge card ([[https://demandperipherals.com/cards/d7hb.html|d7hb]]).  The motor has a magnetic quadrature encoder to measure the speed.  The encoder outputs go to a general purpose IO card ([[https://demandperipherals.com/cards/gpio4.html|gpio4]]) and from there to a dual quadrature decoder peripheral ([[https://demandperipherals.com/peripherals/quad2.html|quad2]]).  A second LCD6 card and peripheral display the speed of the motor in revolutions per minute. 
- 
-The command 'dplist' shows the peripherals in the system and the names of the resources available for each peripheral.  The dplist for this project is shown below.  Use the 'Build your FPGA Image' page ([[https://demandperipherals.com/support/build_fpga.html|FPGA Image]] to request an FPGA binary with the listed peripheral.  Of course you can change the requester peripherals and you can build the image from the Verilog sources if you wish.
