Good day Forum.
I had the idea for a PC controlled breadboard, i made a post on HAD aswell.
"I woke up this morning after a refreshing 2 hour sleep, and had this idea.
I am currently working on few projects that I get online, and make them on a breadboard for prototyping. But one thing that annoys the Sh1t out of me is cutting and placing wires every time I need a connection between pins & parts. So I thought, can't we just control the breadboard via some software on a pc, that tells it which pins to connect eg. "connect line 1A to line 14B etc.
Of course there would need to be a pcb mounted below the breadboard that connects to all the pins, and then some control chip which interfaces with the PC, which in turn then would be able to connect the pins I want with without having to stick a wire in every time.
Any input would be appreciated!"
They suggested I look into FGPA. I have browsed about, but FGPA seem very complex. Does anyone have some help or ideas? Would I be able to control the FGPA via usb on a computer?
