Task 1

For the first task, the PicoBlaze MCU was used with the FPGA on the Basys3 board to control the LEDs when the buttons were pressed on an external keyboard. The demonstration video can be seen below in Video 1.

Task 2

For the final task, the circuit description was changed to include the UART protocol to send the ASCII value of the key presses to a serial monitor with Tera Term.
