A variety of concepts and skills developed in the digital electronics lab series will be combined to design and build a digital clock in a project-based application lab. Students will have the option to build a 12-hour or 24-hour clock which will involve using counters, encoders, flip flops and a other concepts previously learned. Students will also use the NI ELVIS Function Generator to simulate a clock pulse. The lab is based on Multisim but students will implement code to hardware on the NI DSDB. The project is guided by the online, interactive platform Thinkscape.
