A few years ago, when the Arrow DECA development board was introduced with Altera’s MAX 10 FPGA, the board was offered for $169. Later on, Intel purchased the Altera FPGA business and the price of the board reduced to $65. The price has now dropped tremendously again and the board can now be purchased for just $37. DECA features

The Raspberry Pi is widely recognized as the most popular single-board computer. Given its nature as an embedded microcomputer, the acquisition of data is almost indispensable in Raspberry Pi. While the Pi is equipped with several GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) pins, it lacks a built-in or onboard analog-to-digital converter. Consequently, the Pi itself cannot directly
