Some Headway.....

It doesn't work quite right yet but it's going in the right direction

I've got a plan....if I have the time

So I decided what I want to try to do with the Nexys FPGA. What I'm planning on doing is to have around three or four 8x8 LED matrices hooked up to make a scrolling display that I'll be able to update with a keyboard hooked up to the board. It'll probably take me the rest of the semester to do if I can even figure out how to accomplish it but it sounds like it'll be a lot of fun either way.

Starting something new.....again....

Nexys 3

Nexys 3 VGA out

Papilio One

So since I've returned to school after the summer break I've been receiving a lot of new toys to play with. One such toy was an FPGA board called the Papilio-One. It's a pretty neat little board that I hope is going to provide a change of pace from the MCU stuff. The other new thing is also an FPGA board called the Nexys 3. My professor is letting me play with it for the semester so I hope to figure out whether or not I would want one by that time.
