-===== How to Build and Program ===== 
  
-You will need...\\+-------
  
-1. Vivado installed on your computer\\ +===== Prerequisites =====
-2. Basys3 board from digilent\\ +
-3. Wires and a voltage to measure\\+
  
 +===Skills===
 +  * **Basic familiarity with Vivado**
 +    *  //This experience can be found by walking through our "Getting Started with Vivado" guide//
  
 +===Hardware===
 +  * **Basys3 FPGA board**
 +  * **Micro-USB cable** 
 +  * **Wires and a voltage to measure**
  
-==== 1. Download the Project ====+===Software=== 
 +  * **Vivado Design Suite 2015.X**  
 +    * //Newer/older versions can be used, but the procedure may vary slightly//
  
-Download the project zip file here. {{:basys3:basys3xadc.zip|}} Once you have downloaded the project, unzip it in the location of your choosing.+-----
  
-**Tcl Script Format**+===== Downloads =====
  
-The new project format is available for this demo and can be downloaded here: {{:tcl_basys3_xadc.zip|here}}. \\ +Basys 3 Support Repository -- [[https://github.com/Digilent/Basys3/archive/master.zip|ZIP]] [[https://github.com/Digilent/Basys3|GIT Repo]]
-If you are unfamiliar with how to run projects in this new format, see the [[http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-run-Digilent-Tcl-format-projects/|guide]] on the usage of the new project format. Please read the short document included within the project folder.+
  
-==== 2. Load the Vivado Project ====+------ 
 +===== How to...  =====
  
-In your now unzipped project, open the file basys3XADC.xpr. This should open your project in Vivado. +==== 1. Generate the Project ====
  
-{{:basys3:gpio_load.png?600|}}+>1.1) Download the repository linked in the download section and place it in the location of your choosing. 
  
-==== 3. Synthesize, Implement and Generate Bitstream ====+>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]]
  
-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**.+==== 2. Build the Project ====
  
-{{:basys3:buildflow.png?600|}}+>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.
