This year we were required to complete a reaction timer, PS2 controller, PWM generator, wavetable, piano, SPI controller, memory controller, and \u00a0a simple game of pong. These are just some of the amazing designs you can make with FPGA.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Since I was working a lot with Vivado over the summer and I had just gotten a funky Basys3 from the engineering team, I decided to use Vivado and the <a href=\"https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/Products\/Detail.cfm?NavPath=2,400,1288&amp;Prod=BASYS3\">Basys3<\/a>.
