The ezPixel is an Upcoming FPGA based WS2812B Controller Board


https://www.electronics-lab.com/ezpixel-upcoming-fpga-based-ws2812b-controller-board/

FPGAs are field programmable gate arrays which basically means they are reconfigurable hardware chips. FPGAs have found applications in different industries and engineering fields from the defence, telecommunications to automotive and several others but little application in the maker’s world. Mostly, as a result of being largely difficult and high cost as compared to the likes […]
