===== Description =====

This project is a Vivado demo using the Nexys Video's analog-to-digital converter ciruitry, and the OLED display, written in Verilog. When programmed onto the board, voltage levels between 0 and 1 Volt are read off of the JXADC header. The OLED display shows the voltage difference between the appropriate channel's pins in volts. 

The selected channels and pins are as follows:
^ XADC Channel  ^ JXADC Pins              ^
| AD1           | JXADC1(P) / JXADC7(N)   |
| AD0           | JXADC2(P) / JXADC8(N)   |
| AD8           | JXADC3(P) / JXADC9(N)   |
| AD9           | JXADC4(P) / JXADC10(N)  |

===== Download and Usage Instructions =====

First and foremost, releases - consisting of a set of files for download - are only compatible with a specific version of the Xilinx tools, as specified in the name of the release (referred to as a //release tag//). In addition, releases are only compatible with the specified variant of the board. For example, a release tagged "20/DMA/2020.1" for the Zybo Z7 is only to be used with the -20 variant of the board and Vivado 2020.1.

The latest release version for this demo is highlighted in green.

**Note:** //Releases for FPGA demos from before 2020.1 used a different git structure, and used a different release tag naming scheme.//

===== Functionality =====

====1. Applying a Voltage to the XADC Port====

>For this demo, the AD1, AD0, AD8, and AD9 differential inputs on the JXADC header are used. We constructed a resistor ladder to connect each of the four channels' p pins to a Voltage level between zero and one, using one of the Pmod Ports to supply 3.3 Volts to the circuit. Each of the channels' n pins were grounded.

====2. OLED Display====

>The OLED display shows the Voltage differential across each of the xadc pin pairs located on JXADC.
