Single kit price under $30, classroom kit (quantity 30) about $20 each
Wiring using male-female jumpers and one ground wire jumper
Nano Board pins required soldering, Breadboard split in two, widened allowing
better access to IO pins. Power rail shifted to align with DIP switches.
FPGA board also available with small LCD screen
As shown all LCD screen and HDMI connectors are usable
Single kit price of $31.20, classroom kit with shared JTAG programmer at $20.77
The Gowinsemi tools may make this kit suitable for middle school students?
Would expect a lessurely pace labortory classroom setting
With the students learning digital/binary signals and logic
Much of which can be done via PC logic simulator (Digital Designer)
Uses the dated and well tested Xilinx ISE tools
No soldering or assembly
Use IO pins to provide connections from buttons to logic gates to LEDs
Can also preprogram an example operation of display board
Also Cmod A7-15T board pictured in the slides, or one can use any of the narrow FPGA boards.
