ECE241F Lab 4
Implement and test all of the circuits you designed in the preparation. Show each working part to a Teaching Assistant.
BEWARE: there is a problem with the digital switch board in the lab. The transition of one switch can cause a "glitch" on the other signals. If those signals are connected to something that it edge-activated, such as a clock signal, your circuit will not appear to function correctly. One way to solve this is to make the clock active on a negative edge (not the usual positive edge). The reason this works is tha the glitch appears to create spurious positive edges.
Also: you must set maxplus2 appropriately to allow the clock to come in on a regular I/O pin.
