It\u2019s a brilliant little device and I quickly wrote some VHDL to produce a simple clock divider which also serves as a 4bit counter. Oh, and I added a blinking LED! Why not &#8211; I had the counter anyway, and it proves that the code is running correctly. I have to say, that I\u2019m absolutely ELATED over how easy the Digital Discovery is to work with &#8211; I\u2019ve only just tried the basics, without the need for the (very) detailed manual, but I just know how handy this will be to have as a tool. Comes at a very reasonable price tag, highly recommended! Thanks for watching<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The video goes into depth regarding his step by step process, and he shows both the VHDL code along with the WaveForms software for his project.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-25946 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Capture-600x343.png\"
