ECE 385 Project Ideas

• New! We now have in stock a few 1.6 Mega pixel digital camera boards and a few 3.6 inch LCD display boards. Both of these have connectors that directly connect to your DE2 board with ribbon cables. Ask a TA for these boards if you plan to use them in your project. The following two websites give information on our camera and LCD panel. Source for demo designs (in Verilog) are also available there.

• 3.6” Digital LCD Panel Kit
• SLC-3 like microcomputer with floating-point add, multiply, divide instructions
• A Self-Test design that tests all hardware on the S3 board
