Multipurpose digital interface boards for the PCI bus were designed for robot controllers. They used a programmable logic device reconfigured for internal circuits. The user plugs the board in, then downloads circuit data to obtain various interfaces. Optional modules such as analog front ends and support software also were developed. The board enables rapid prototyping and flexible use of high-speed digital circuits. Three applications of the board — robot interfaces of DC servomotors for a walking robot, high-speed digital signal processing for a motion capture system, and pipelined image processing units — showed the effectiveness of the board.
