 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. On the Basys3, the XADC Pmod connector houses 4 differential analog pairs. The corresponding XADC channels are 6, 7, 14, and 15.

-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. 4 routes to XA4_P and XA4_N. +The differential pairs are grouped by columns.

-===== How to Build and Program =====+
  
-You will need...\\+{{:basys3:basys3xadcinternal.png?400|}}
  
-1. Vivado installed on your computer\\ +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. Basys3 board from digilent\\ +
-3. Wires and a voltage to measure\\+
  
 +-------
  
 +===== Prerequisites =====
  
-==== 1. Download the Project ====+===Skills=== 
 +  * **Basic familiarity with Vivado** 
 +    *  //This experience can be found by walking through our "Getting Started with Vivado" guide//
  
-Download the project zip file here. {{:basys3:basys3xadc.zip|}} Once you have downloaded the project, unzip it in the location of your choosing.+===Hardware=== 
 +  * **Basys3 FPGA board** 
 +  * **Micro-USB cable**  
 +  * **Wires and a voltage to measure**
  
 +===Software===
 +  * **Vivado Design Suite 2015.X** 
 +    * //Newer/older versions can be used, but the procedure may vary slightly//
  
-==== 2. Load the Vivado Project ====+-----
  
-In your now unzipped project, open the file basys3XADC.xpr. This should open your project in Vivado. +===== Downloads =====

-==== 3. Synthesize, Implement and Generate Bitstream ====+------ 
 +===== How to...  =====
  
-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**.+==== 1. Generate the Project ====
  
-{{:basys3:buildflow.png?600|}}+>1.1) Download the repository linked in the download section and place it in the location of your choosing. 
  
-==== 4. Connect and Program the Basys3 ====+>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]]
  
-Once you have generated your bit file, Click on the hardware manager and connect to your board by choosing the local server option.+==== 2. Build the Project ====
