This week I worked on preparing for the design presentation as it was my turn to present. I felt prepared and confident in my slides and content and thought it went well overall. I also continued to fix things on our draft schematic. Since we changed our FPGA, I picked up our new one this week and have been adjusting the schematic to make sure the PCB size and layout matches the DE0 Nano layout and pins. This was a struggle before we had our hands on the physical FPGA as there seemed to be multiple versions of the DE0 Nano and we couldn’t tell which layout/datasheet we should be adhering to. I aim to have an updated schematic done this week so we can get the layout done as soon as possible and send it for fabrication over spring break and continue stay on schedule. If time permits this week, I also hope to return to my external keyboard research so if that arrives after break I can start to mess around with the actual connections and test the ribbon connector. I anticipate this to take a while as it is hardware I am unfamiliar with and tricky hardware issues may take some time.
