As I wrote in the last journal entry, I started to program that board...

The first program was a simple one, and made in schematics: an AND gate and an OR gate, driven by two switches and controlling two LEDs.
Not a great thing, but for me was important, beucase is my first "program" outside of a computer.

I haven't wrote here for a while...

I bought a fpga board (the BASYS board from http//www.digilentinc.com ) for 100$ (with shipping) and I made a test system with it.
I'll come back with more details soon.

Now I was going to buy the parts for my project but I'm a bit afraid... what if it won't work ?
I have to spend some time on reading the specifications from every component that I'll need, to match the operating frequency and voltage and other stuff like that.
