Sample Designs To give you a flavor of approvable designs, a brief list of approved design ideas is presented here. Please note that Class A projects are considered advanced and are scored higher than Class B set in the final judgement. Class A Projects 1. Robot in Maze: A 4-Wheel robot with infrared or micro-switch sensors in front and back, and two servo motors for motion. The robot is placed inside at the entrance of a maze, and it must find the path to exit. 2. Standalone Tetris: A Tetris game engine, driving a standard VGA-monitor to show the game images and results. 3. PC-based Tetris: A Tetris game engine on the FPGA, connected to a PC to take keyboard input and show game status and images on PC monitor. 4. Standalone Packman: A Packman game engine, driving a standard VGA-monitor to show the game images and results. 5. PC-based Packman: A Packman game engine on the FPGA, connected to a PC to take keyboard inpu and show game status and images on PC monitor. 6. CAN System: CAN (Car-Area Network) controller along with some CAN devices. A network designed to connect various electronic parts inside the car. 7. IRL: Internet Reconfigurable Logic, A way of configuring an FPGA/CPLD from a remote computer on a network. 8. Network Repeater: Class B Projects 9. 4-Wheel Robot: A robot with two driving wheels in two sides, capable of moving in all directions. The robot has a controlling device which under user commands changes its direction. 10. Sensored Robot: A robot with two driving wheels capable of moving in all directions. The robot is also equipped with infrared or micro-switch sensors in front and back; and hence, can avoid or sense obstacles. 11. Rat in Maze: A maze is designed in the FPGA memory. The FPGA logic must find the path from entrance to exit doors of the maze. 12. RISC processor: Some RISC instruction-sets are provided. The processor must be designed and synthesized in the FPGA, and a simple assembler is to be designed to program the processor. 13. Traffic Light Controller: The traditional Traffic-Light Controller application, but a road-crossing with weight-sensors and Red-Orange-Green LEDs is to be designed to emulate the reality. 14. Add-and-Shift Multiplier: The well-known add-and-shift algorithm for multiplication is to be implemented. The algorithm works in step-by-step mode and partial results are shown on 7-Segment displays. 15. RAM Tester: Walking-1, Walking-0 algorithm for RAM testing is to be implemented by the FPGA. 16. Graphics Card: The FPGA controls a VGA monitor in text-mode. A PC connected to the board sends it the characters to be displayed. Proposed Projects Approved by Scientific Committee 17.
