ECEN 390 - Laser Tag Project

The ZED board does no active processing of signal data in this milestone. For this milestone the ZED board acquires signal data from the A/D and copies it to the D/A. It must do this 100,000 times per second (1kHz). The timing must be precise. You must ensure that the A/D is sampled at 100 kHz and that the D/A generates data at that same rate. We didn't build a sampled-data system in ECEN 330 but you should have all of the necessary tools to achieve this milestone. Here is one way to go about accomplishing the software part of this milestone.

1. A/D and D/A PMods . The A/D and D/A devices are mounted on PMods, small boards that connect directly to the black connectors located on the periphery of the ZED board. To keep things simple, let's use exactly the same pin assignments for these modules as was used in ECEN 330. That way, you don't need to learn how to use Xilinx Platform Studio for now. This also means that you can simply use the same bit-stream as you used in ECEN 330. We can change these pin assignments later if necessary. This means that you will use the same cables that connecting these A/D and D/A PMods in ECEN 330.
