Web Night Cancelled 1/2/14 – Snow

By forgotten on January 2, 2014

Yep, weather sucks and people’s driving in said weather makes the roads even more unsafe. Web Night is cancelled for this evening. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Beginner Soldering Class (13 Dec, 7PM)

By proto on December 6, 2013

If you’ve never picked up a soldering iron before, but would like to learn the art of soldering then this class is for you. Buddy has made a generous donation of beginner level soldering kits. There will be 18 kits available on a first come first serve basis. We’ll have soldering irons available as well, […]

FPGA Night (3 Dec, 7-10PM)

By proto on December 2, 2013

We will be implementing a Xilinx divider IP core so that our CPUs can divide. If we finish creating and testing the divider, then we will move on to creating a flags register and implementing addca (add with carry). Please bring a breadboard and jumpers so that we can troubleshoot using the three external IO […]

FPGA Night (26 Nov, 7-10PM)

By proto on November 24, 2013

We had planned on adding division and add w/ carry, but there has been a change. Since the divider opcode took quite a while, we will be covering how to get the divider working from the ground up. This will be done using the ISE simulator and simple test bench code. We will cover the […]

FPGA Night (19 Nov, 7-10PM)

By proto on November 17, 2013

Continue work on our custom CPU. We will be finishing the push and pop opcodes and writing test programs to use them with ret and call. If time permits, we will also create the flags register and a new addition opcode that adds the remainder from the last addition operation. The code is up on […]

FPGA Night (12 Nov, 7-10PM)

By proto on November 11, 2013

We will be adding ‘addca’ to add the carry bit from the last addition operation. Additionally, we will be adding ‘call’ and ‘ret’ statements (along with the required stack information) to enable branching. Please bring a breadboard and jumpers so that we can troubleshoot using the three external IO buses. If you cannot bring those […]

FPGA Night (5 Nov, 7-10PM)

By proto on November 4, 2013

We will continue building the instruction set for our custom CPUs. Plans are to fix a bug in movaf, create movfa (move from memory to register a), and create jump opcodes for register_a and memory location comparisons. Required Items: 1. Laptop with Xilinx ISE installed. Please ensure you already have the ISE installed!! We will […]

C Programming Class Starting Sat. Nov. 16th 5pm

By forgotten on October 30, 2013

This class will teach you the fundamentals of ANSI C. We’re aiming for both beginners and those who have had little experience with C. Though experience with other languages would be helpful, it is not required. We’ll work on different projects to teach us the fundamentals. We’ll start with a simple Hello, World and work […]

FPGA Night (29 Oct, 7-10PM)

By proto on October 25, 2013

We will continue building the instruction set for our custom CPUs. Plans are to have add, subtract, logical shift (left and right), and rotate (left and right). 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 […]

FPGA Night (22 Oct, 7-10PM)

By proto on October 20, 2013

We started work on our CPU last week. This class will focus on getting the CPU up and running with simple instructions like add, subtract, multiply, divide, jump, and sending data to the IO ports. Required Items: 1. Laptop with Xilinx ISE installed. Please ensure you already have the ISE installed!! We will not have […]

FPGA Night (15 Oct, 7-10PM)

By proto on October 14, 2013

This will be the last class on VGA before moving to CPUs. We will be modifying our code to draw multiple lines of text on the screen. 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 […]

FPGA Night (8 Oct, 7-10PM)

By proto on October 7, 2013

We will continue our work with VGA monitors. I have new code that we will be using to draw binary values with. If time permits, we will cover basic bitmaps. 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 […]

3 Year Anniversary of Unallocated Space this Saturday!!

By forgotten on September 30, 2013

Let’s talk food and drink. Bring something to share. You’re thinking bacon, right? Or maybe homemade sweet potato pie. I hear folks love kabobs. The grill is going to be working overtime. What you’re bringing is entirely up to you. This is you’re opportunity to show off that special recipe and that fancy pants imported […]

FPGA Night (1 Oct, 7-10PM)

By proto on September 29, 2013

We will continue working with LCD monitors. The plan is to create a binary counter display that can display like a series of LEDs. We will start with one 8 bit vector and move on to showing multiple integers. Required Items: 1. Laptop with Xilinx ISE installed. Please ensure you already have the ISE installed!! […]
