-===== How to Build and Program ===== 
  
-You will need...\\+==== A Note About The XADC Port ====
  
-1. Vivado installed on your computer\\ +On the Basys3, the XADC Pmod connector houses 4 differential analog pairs. The corresponding XADC channels are 6, 7, 14, and 15. Below is a picture of the pinout of the Pmod Header.
-2. Nexys4-DDR board from digilent\\ +
-3. Wires and a voltage to measure\\+
  
 +{{:basys3:xadcpinout1.png?300|}}
  
 +The differential pairs are grouped by columns. Looking at the number above, 1 corresponds to XA1_P and XA1_N, column 2 routes to XA2_P and XA2_N, 3 routes to XA3_P and XA3_N, and 4 routes to XA4_P and XA4_N. Below is from the Basys3 schematics that will show the internal connections of these signals.
  
-==== 1. Download the Project ====+{{:basys3:basys3xadcinternal.png?400|}}
  
-Download the project zip file here. {{:basys3:basys3xadc.zip|}} Once you have downloaded the project, unzip it in the location of your choosing.+From the schematic we can see XA1 is connected to XADC channel 6, XA2 is connected to XADC channel 14, XA3 is connected to XADC channel 7, and XA4 is connected to XADC channel 15. 
  
 +-------
  
-==== 2. Load the Vivado Project ====+===== Prerequisites =====
  
-In your now unzipped project, open the file basys3XADC.xpr. This should open your project in Vivado. +===Skills=== 
 +  * **Basic familiarity with Vivado** 
 +    *  //This experience can be found by walking through our "Getting Started with Vivado" guide//
  
-{{:basys3:gpio_load.png?600|}}+===Hardware=== 
 +  * **Basys3 FPGA board** 
 +  * **Micro-USB cable**  
 +  * **Wires and a voltage to measure**
  
-==== 3. Synthesize, Implement and Generate Bitstream ====+===Software=== 
 +  * **Vivado Design Suite 2015.X**  
 +    * //Newer/older versions can be used, but the procedure may vary slightly//
  
-To complete this step all that you need to do is click **Generate Bitstream** on the left hand menu towards the bottom. Vivado will run through both Run Synthesis and Run Implementation before it generates the bitstream automatically. If you want, you can click each step by itself in the order of **Run Synthesis**, **Run Implementation** and then **Generate Bitstream**.+-----

-==== 4. Connect and Program the Basys3 ====+Basys 3 Support Repository -- [[https://github.com/Digilent/Basys3/archive/master.zip|ZIP]] [[https://github.com/Digilent/Basys3|GIT Repo]]
  
-Once you have generated your bit file, Click on the hardware manager and connect to your board by choosing the local server option.+------ 
 +===== How to...  =====
  
-{{:basys3:device_connected.png?600|}}+==== 1. Generate the Project ====
  
-After your board is connected, just click program to load the XADC demo onto your Basys3.+>1.1) Download the repository linked in the download section and place it in the location of your choosing. 
  
-===== Running the Basys3 XADC Demo =====+>1.2) Generate the **XADC** project in the Projects folder by following this guide before continuing: [[vivado:github|How to Generate a Project from Digilent's Github]]
  
-This portion will help you run the demo and observe all its features.+==== 2. Build the Project ====
  
-==== 1. Applying a voltage to the XADC port ====+>2.1) Click **Generate Bitstream** on the left hand menu towards the bottom. Vivado will run through both Run Synthesis and Run Implementation before it generates the bitstream automatically.  
 +> 
 +>Note: If you want, you can click each step by itself in the order of **Run Synthesis**, **Run Implementation** and then **Generate Bitstream**.

 +>3.2) Click program to load the project onto your Basys3.
  
-==== 2. Seven Segment Display and LEDs ====+==== 4. Run the Project ====
  
-The 7-Segment display shows the current voltage across the selected xadc pins. The LEDs turn on from right to left as the input voltage increases.+This portion will help you run the demo and observe all its features.
