[2020-05-03] Added Lab 5 and 6 sections to website.
[2020-04-26] Added Lab 4 section to website, as well as completed version 1 of the project. Basic ball movement and the game completion upon the ball reaching the hole is currently functioning. See more project details at CodeGolf.
[2020-04-19] Added walls and directional ball movement to project. Completed Labs 4 and 6.
[2020-04-12] Once receiving the VGA display, I completed Lab 3.
[2020-04-05] Researched and worked on final project.
[2020-03-29] Continued researching final project and completed Lab 5.
[2020-03-22] Added Lab 2 entry to website, began working on Lab 5 as well as began researching similar past projects for ideas.
[2020-03-15] Completed Lab 2, decided to skip Lab 3 since I could not get my monitor to work. I began working on Lab 4 since it does not require a monitor.
[2020-03-08] Decided with my group to create a golf game for semester project, continued working on Lab 2 as well a began looking at Lab 3.
[2020-03-01] Completed FPGA Lab 1; Began working on Lab 2.
[2020-02-22] Began completing FPGA Lab 1.
[2020-02-15] Read and reviewed chapters 9-13 of the textbook.
[2020-02-08] Read and reviewed chapters 4-8 of the textbook.
[2020-02-01] Read and reviewed syllabus; Went over chapters 1-3 of the textbook.
Implementing the original code went smoothly with no problems.
The modified code implementation also went smoothly.
I was able to get the program uploaded and running on the FPGA board.
I had some trouble figuring out the zero suppression, but eventually figured it out.
I had no trouble implementing the minus operation.
Modified code is available on my GitHub in the Lab 4 folder.
I was able to get the board connected to the display and running the program correctly, as shown in the pictures.
I was able to resize and recolor the ball, as well as add x-axis movement.
I was able to compile and upload the code to the board without any problems, and the counter worked as intended.
The counter also functioned properly after configuring the memory device as well.
I was able to get the board connected and running the program correctly, as shown in the pictures.
The second part also went smoothly and I was able to run the hex counter on the FPGA board.
