Organisation

This page is for organising the Chip Hack weekend and sorting out what work needs to be done. It will probably break out into more than one page shortly but for now one page is sufficient.

Scope

• Aimed at people who are beginners with this - may not necessarily understand FPGAs/heard about them and just interested, but still familiar with the idea of connecting things/ I/O. Similarly, may not necessarily know verilog, but knows how to program something and understands basic logic, however understanding verilog isn't a bad thing either.

Basic Description of Example Projects

(The following is just a couple of basic ideas I've thought of that could probably be expanded into something more interesting - Simon)

• Simple counter using the LEDs, one button count increases, other decreases
• (as a "Hello, World!" type project?)
• Then possibly extend using 7seg on BASYS 2
• Music/sound playing
• After connecting a speaker to the board, control it to output sound at a specific frequency. Possibly have buttons/switches/keyboard (if using BASYS 2) control that.
• (If D0 Nano - accelerometer based frequency)
• Similar to above, just using the accelerometer as an input.
• (Something that nicely demonstrates multiple things occurring at once)
• ...
