I help students with their projects both software and hardware. On a weekly basis I have to help students with issues with Verilog, C, C++, LT Spice, Eagle CAD and Assembly. We deal with several different FPGA's and microcontrollers. I also help students with hardware like making filters, comparator circuits, opamps, and using any available hardware component to accomplish their task.
