Intro: In this tutorial we learned the basics of the UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter) protocol. This was done by short tasks that implemented the transmitter and receiver.

1. In section 2. use the debounce module to create a counter. When the user press the button once, it shows a '1' on the seven segment display. If the user keep pushing the button, the display increments by 1 until 9 then it resets to 0.(25 points)

Figure 1.2: Code snippet for the other changes made to the uart_tx_top module. This implements task 1.



Figure 1.3: Video verification of task 1.

2. Repeat the UART transmitter in Section 2 to show letters/symbols in the serial monitor. (25 points)

3. Repeat the work in Section 3. (25 points)

4. Show the numbers you typed in the serial monitor on one seven segment display unit (less than 10). (25 points)

Results: This lab helped me grasp a basic understanding of how UART transmits and receive data. It was helpful to code through the tasks as they provided hands on knowledge of the protocol of UART.
