To run all the features of this demo, all you will need is your programmed Basys3. The abacus can preform 4 arithmatic functions on two 8-bit numbers. Switches 15-8 represent input A. Switches 7-0 represent input B. The abacus works by setting the slide switches to your desired operands and then selecting an operation with the buttons. The result will be displayed on the 7 segment display. On startup, the display will read 0. | To run all the features of this demo, all you will need is your programmed Basys3.
