1. Homework 10 - Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)

2. Introduction
The purpose of this lab is to work with the basys 3 board and vivado to implement SPI with a PmodALS ambient light sensor and verify functionality.

4. Results

Task 1




Task 1: This task included writing the code to use SPI as well as adding the binarytoBCD module to the project. The constraint file was edited to be able to use ss,sdo, and sck from the sensor.

Task 1.1: Video above shows the functionality of the light sensor working with the flash of a phone to siplay birghtness on the SSD.





Discussion

This homework was a good introduction to SPI. We learned how to implement it with a light sensor together with the BASYS 3 board. It was straight forward and easy to implement. Makes us feel more confident in our FPGA abilities.
