Objectives:

1.  To become familiar with counters.
2.  To develop knowledge of the seven-segment LED and 7447 Driver.
3.  To become more familiar with FPGA's.

In this lab let's ignore your 7400 family of chips and work exclusively with programmable logic.  The programmable logic chip will be the same as the previous lab, the FPGA.

The basic overview of this project is that we are going to take VHDL code for a counter.  We are then going to transfer this entire project onto a programmable chip.  The tutorial will take a step-by-step approach through the entire project from start to completion.  Don't underestimate what you are learning. 

Now let's move on to the tutorial and the worksheet.
