🛠️ DIY Electronics Enthusiast Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Jordan Park - Home Robotics Hobbyist
"As a tinkerer, I appreciate the flexibility of this FPGA. The Base model was affordable and powerful enough for my smart home automation build. Took a few weeks to get comfortable with Verilog, but the custom logic capability is worth the learning curve. Only downside: better documentation would help beginners."
