We will be continuing from last week’s VGA designs. There were problems with some people not being able to display anything on their monitors. After some tweaking of the timings, I think everything should be good to go.

If you have a monitor with a VGA connection and can bring it, please do. We have about 8 monitors available, but the quality of these monitors is unknown.

Required Items:
1. Laptop with Xilinx ISE installed. Please ensure you already have the ISE installed!! We will not have time to wait for the install process to complete (it usually takes 15-30 minutes). Check out http://www.xilinx.com/support/download/index.html/content/xilinx/en/downloadNav/design-tools.html and download the ISE Design Suite for your OS.
2. Some Xilinx Spartan 3 or greater FPGA development board (must be Xilinx!!). We prefer the Mojo or Digilent Basys II.
3. USB cable for your FPGA dev board.

Provided Items:
1. VGA breakout (if needed)
2. LCD Monitor (1 per person up to ~ 7)

Because of the cost of FPGA dev boards, we will not have extras. If you have questions about what board to get, please E-Mailfpga@unallocatedspace.org.

Since the space runs off of donations, we would like to mention that the recommended donation for this class is $5. It is by no means a requirement! Attendance to the space, and this class, is 100% free to all!
