FPGA Night (22 July, 7-10PM)

By proto on July 20, 2014

We will be continuing with adding generics to our vga_solid module. Last class left off with the h_counter, v_counter sizes and, red, green, and blue signal widths being generic. Now we will make the VGA signal timings generic as well as outputting the current x and y positions. Finally, if there is time, we will […]

FPGA Night (July 8, 7-10PM)

By proto on July 6, 2014

We will be converting the VGA design from last week into a module that we can reuse in other designs. The new module will make use of generics and a library that will contain settings for various VGA modes. For those of you with a Nexys3, Basys2, or Atlys, you will be able to connect […]

FPGA Night (1 July, 7-10PM)

By proto on June 29, 2014

We will continue using working with VGA by displaying color. There will be a brief instruction for how to display colors. From there, everyone will go do something that displays objects on the screen. The slides for the upcoming and previous classes can be found here. The slides are generally made during the three days […]

FPGA Night (24 June, 7-10PM)

By proto on June 21, 2014

We will start working on displaying colors and shapes on a monitor using VGA. For those of you with a Nexys3, Basys2, or Atlys, you will be able to connect a VGA cable directly. For those using a Mojo or some other board without a VGA connection, please E-Mail fpga@unallocatedspace.org stating that you need a […]

FPGA Night (17 June, 7-10PM) — CANCELLED —

By proto on June 15, 2014

Class for 17 June has been cancelled. We will pick back up next week.

FPGA Night (10 June, 7-10PM)

By proto on June 8, 2014

This will be the second (and probably last) class on creating a state machine to drive SRAM. We will start off with finishing the write state machine, then add in the code for reading. After that we will create a test bench to test reading and writing. Finally we will wire up the SRAM and […]

FPGA Night (3 Jun, 7-10PM)

By proto on June 1, 2014

We will be starting the first of two classes aimed at interfacing our FPGAs to SRAM (datasheet). This class will focus on wiring, state machines, tri-state logic, and processes. We might not get through all of the topics. The slides for the upcoming and previous classes can be found here. The slides are generally made […]

FPGA Night (27 May, 7-10PM)

By proto on May 25, 2014

This class will be a little different. Instead of getting a boring lecture from the instructor, there will be several fairly simple projects to choose from. All project ideas will have solved code available. Here is the current list (more might be added before class): Flash the LEDs once per second. Alternate flashing of the […]

FPGA Night (20 May, 7-10PM)

By proto on May 17, 2014

We will be creating a new VHDL module that counts up and down using two buttons. This will also involve switch debouncing. The slides for the upcoming and previous classes can be found here. The slides are generally made during the three days before a class. Agenda: 1. Overview of last class 2. Counting with […]

FPGA Night (6 May, 7-10PM)

By proto on May 2, 2014

We will be finishing our work with seven segment displays. Last week we got our seven segments to display a flashing number ‘2’. This week we will make our seven segment module count using VHDL arrays. Additionally, we will go over, and implement a reset signal for our design. Time permitting, we will also remove […]

FPGA Night (Apr 29, 7-10PM)

By proto on April 26, 2014

We will be learning about 7 segment displays and VHDL arrays. We will create a new VHDL module for displaying N numbers on a seven segment display using an array and a counter. The goal might be a little ambitious, so we might not get all the way to the end in one class. It […]

FPGA Night (April 22, 7-10PM)

By proto on April 20, 2014

We will be modifying our push button demo to use two buttons, and to be synchronized using clock. We will also cover how to slow the synchronized clock down to a manageable rate. This will be combined with the push button demo to see how clock synchronization can affect the sampling of an input. It […]

FPGA Night (15 April, 7-10PM)

By proto on April 11, 2014

We will be creating a push button project from scratch. The idea is that pressing a button connected to the FPGA will turn on a series of LEDs. We will then make the design synchronous by creating a slow clock out of a counter. We will also be creating a test bench file for the […]
