00:00:08,110 --> 00:00:10,490
Welcome to the bases to board overview.

2
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:15,550
If you're using the bases to board for this course I'm going to go ahead just give you an overview of

3
00:00:15,550 --> 00:00:17,040
what to expect when you get your board.

4
00:00:17,110 --> 00:00:18,200
How to test it.

5
00:00:18,250 --> 00:00:20,270
And just a few things on the board.

6
00:00:20,500 --> 00:00:23,400
So your basic keyboard should come in a box.

7
00:00:23,410 --> 00:00:24,530
It looks something like this.

8
00:00:24,550 --> 00:00:30,190
If you buy it from the vigilent Web site the length is provided and if you open it up you'll see the

9
00:00:30,190 --> 00:00:32,750
picture we just have a picture of the bases to board.

10
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:39,440
When you open it up you should see the bases board itself and us be table.

11
00:00:39,490 --> 00:00:44,390
And this is what we use to power the board as well as program the bases to board.

12
00:00:44,390 --> 00:00:51,220
So let's go ahead and take the base just to board out of our box and take the USP cable in order to

13
00:00:51,220 --> 00:00:52,660
test that.

14
00:00:52,660 --> 00:01:01,990
What we want to do is you'll notice that we have a little jumper up here and the top top of your top

15
00:01:01,990 --> 00:01:03,010
right corner.

16
00:01:03,190 --> 00:01:06,370
And there's two different sections you can go between.

17
00:01:06,430 --> 00:01:11,600
It will be either there's a PC in Iran in order to test this.

18
00:01:11,740 --> 00:01:18,400
You want to make sure that the jumper is selecting the ROM and the middle pin and what that will do

19
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:25,420
is that's going to say that the configuration file loaded on flash memory on the board.

20
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,310
So when you powered it up it'll come off from the ROM.

21
00:01:28,580 --> 00:01:34,180
And ladies should light up your 7st display should be flashing just let you know that your board is

22
00:01:34,180 --> 00:01:35,100
working.

23
00:01:35,100 --> 00:01:37,210
So let's go ahead and power this guy up.

24
00:01:37,590 --> 00:01:45,310
He is going to plug here us be table in and then plug it into us B which you can just plug it in your

25
00:01:45,310 --> 00:01:48,310
computer or if you have a wall wart or something.

26
00:01:48,340 --> 00:01:52,730
It's just a standard US be 5 volt power.

27
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,840
Go ahead and plug it in.

28
00:01:57,750 --> 00:02:00,460
And now we go ahead hit our switch.

29
00:02:00,570 --> 00:02:04,950
Turn that on and you'll see our board is powered up.

30
00:02:04,950 --> 00:02:09,810
So we've got our lady here telling us that the board is powered up and working correctly.

31
00:02:10,110 --> 00:02:16,280
We've got our seven segment display which is displaying counting and hacks from 0 up to half.

32
00:02:16,550 --> 00:02:22,810
And we've got push buttons and switches we can hit we going see that the LCD is turning on.

33
00:02:23,100 --> 00:02:27,350
So that's good that's telling us that all our ladies work the boards working and everything's OK.

34
00:02:27,370 --> 00:02:29,880
Which This should factor this already tests.

35
00:02:29,910 --> 00:02:36,500
But just a quick way for you to make sure that your board is working and so on the board we have this

36
00:02:36,500 --> 00:02:39,330
small little chip kind of directly in the center.

37
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:45,510
And if you look really close at it on yours you'll see has a Xilinx symbol and it'll say Spartan and

38
00:02:45,510 --> 00:02:52,890
that is because it's a Xilinx chip and it's a Spartan series FPGA and we've got a few other peripherals

39
00:02:52,920 --> 00:02:53,720
we have.

40
00:02:54,150 --> 00:02:58,630
As you can see here the USP port which is used to program empower our board.

41
00:02:58,890 --> 00:03:03,410
We've got all the switches which we'll be using in the labs throughout the course.

42
00:03:03,570 --> 00:03:12,050
We've got these push buttons which we'll use as well you can see when I hit them it unlikes the selected

43
00:03:12,060 --> 00:03:20,100
segment on the 7 segment splay and then we've also have several these different clumpy mods through

44
00:03:20,100 --> 00:03:23,250
digital and Web site and essentially what they are they give you access.

45
00:03:23,250 --> 00:03:29,130
You can take wires plug wires into the air and stick them in a breadboard which we do in our RC servo

46
00:03:29,430 --> 00:03:37,380
lab and it just gives you access from the outside taxi access pins on that FPGA and they do sell little

47
00:03:37,380 --> 00:03:42,080
pea mods connectors you can stick in there and do other cool things with.

48
00:03:42,090 --> 00:03:47,400
So this is kind of an overview of what the bases to board looks like will be what we'll be doing and

49
00:03:47,460 --> 00:03:53,280
we're going to be working with the Ltd's seven Sigma display the pushbuttons and we will work with the

50
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,100
Pimas RC servo.

51
00:03:56,100 --> 00:04:01,110
So that is kind of what you can expect and I hope you're ready to learn.
