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!! 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 (please let me know if you need one!)
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-Mail [email protected].

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!
