Weekly Progress Report

Class: _7A__

Project Title: FPGA Based Time Proportional PID Controller with Zero Crossing Detector
Progress from 3.10.2016 to 9.10.2016

1. What we did this past week (start with copy pasting TODO list from the previous progress report):
What

Percent
done

RESULTS (include pictures /sketches / codes if relevant)

Finding out
what an FPGA
actually is.

50%

Understand the basic of FPGA and what software is

needed to program the FPGA, as well as knowing what
programming language to use an FPGA.

Researching
about zero
crossing
detector

30%

Get the basic of zero crossing detector, understand how

it works.

2. Any problems encountered and solutions:

- The programming language, VHDL is relatively new for me. I do not know any single thing about it. I will try to
learn it by the basic first.
3. Our plan for this coming week:
What

When

Where/How (optional)

Look for an FPGA to buy

10.10.2016 16.10.2016

Look one in online store and

glodok.

Look for zero crossing

detector circuit that can
be implemented inside
FPGA

10.10.2016 16.10.2016

Do some research in the

internet

Mechatronics System Design 2

Read book about VHDL,

look for some tutorials.

4. Schedule & Budget:

a. Are you on schedule? (Yes/No) -- If not, what needs to be done?
Not at all, everything about FPGA is new for me. I need to learn more about it real fast.
b. Are you still within budget? (Yes / No) -- If not, what needs to be done?
Yes.
