1. ECE 448: Lab 4 VGA Display. Bouncing Ball.

2. Organization and Grading

3. Flexibility in the Second Part of the Semester You can work on all lab assignments from Part II of the course either individually or in groups of two students. The number of required and bonus tasks, as well as the grading scheme will be different for individuals and the groups of two. In case of the group work, both students are expected to be intimately familiar with the entire solution to the given lab assignment and the entire lab report. This knowledge will be verified during the experiment demonstration and the same grade will be applied to the entire team.

12. Introduction to Lab 4

13. Task 1: Displaying the ball (2pts single person, 1.5pts teams) Draw a circle (ball) in the center of the screen

14. Task 1: Displaying the ball (2pts single person, 1.5pts teams) Circle Fill: implements equation [(X-X0) 2 +(Y-Y0) 2 < R 2 ] Color Generator: Selects colors for ball and background VGA Controller: Sync generator (may use Digilent) X0 Y0 X Y

15. Task 2: Moving the ball (2pts single person, 1.5pts teams) Move the ball using the buttons 0 = up1 = down 2 = left3 = right

16. Task 2: Moving the ball (2pts single person, 1.5pts teams) Manual Count: [NEXT = PREV +/- 4*(STEP+1)] Limit NEXT to within the screen boundary (use generic) X0 Y0 X Y

17. Task 3: Bouncing the ball (2pts single person, 1.5pts teams) When the center of the ball goes beyond the boundary, the step of an appropriate counter changes sign.

18. Task 3: Bouncing the ball (2pts single person, 1.5pts teams) Clock divider: 5ms per step, pulsed output (high for 1 clock) Automatic Count: limit out to within boundary (use generic) Duplicate for Y-axis (Clock Divider shared by X and Y-axis)

19. Task 4: Multiple Balls (2pts bonus single person, 1.5pts teams) Add a second ball Manual and automatic mode Different colors

20. Task 5: Change color (1.5pts bonus single person, 1 pt bonus teams) Change the color of the ball and the background when the ball bounces. The background color and the ball color must always be different

21. Task 6: Change Shape (1 pt bonus teams) Change the shape of the object every time it bounces. Circle-to-square and square-to-circle.
