-===== Features Used =====+ 
 +==== Description ==== 
 + 
 +This simple XADC Demo project demonstrates a simple usage of the Nexys 4's  
 +XADC port capability. The behavior is as follows: 
 +  
 +  * The 16 User LEDs increment from right to left as the voltage difference on the selected XADC pins gets larger. 
 +  * The two seven segment displays show the voltage difference on the AD11 pins in volts. 
 +  * sw0 and sw1 select which channel to read from

-You will need...\\+-----
  
-1. Vivado installed on your computer\\ +===== Downloads ===== 
-2. Nexys4 board from digilent\\ +Nexys 4 XADC Demo Project Repository -- [[https://github.com/Digilent/Nexys-4-XADC/releases/download/v2016.4-1/Nexys-4-XADC-2016.4-1.zip|ZIP Archive]] [[https://github.com/Digilent/Nexys-4-XADC|GIT Repo]]

-==== 1. Generate the Project ====+===== Download and Launch the Nexys 4 XADC Demo =====
  
->1.1) Download the repository linked in the download section and unzip it in the location of your choosing. +>Follow the [[:learn:programmable-logic:tutorials:github-demos:start|Using Digilent Github Demo Projects]] Tutorial. This is an HDL design project, and as such does not support Vivado SDK, select the tutorial options appropriate for a Vivado-only design. As you will not need to set up your circuit to be measured until after the board is programmed, you do not need to return to this guide when prompted to check for extra hardware requirements and setup.
  
->1.2) Generate the **User_Demo** project in the Projects folder by following this guide before continuing: [[vivado:github|How to Generate a Project from Digilent's Github]] +===== Using the Nexys 4 XADC Demo =====
- +
-==== 2. Load the Vivado Project ==== +
- +
-In your now unzipped project, open the file Nexys4XADC.xpr. This should open your project in Vivado.  +
- +
-*The screenshots below are from another project but should look relatively the same and will work for our purposes. +
- +
- +
-{{:basys3:gpio_load.png?600|}} +
- +
-==== 3. Synthesize, Implement and Generate Bitstream ==== +
- +
-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 Nexys4 ==== +
- +
-Once you have generated your bit file, Click on the hardware manager and connect to your board by choosing the local server option. +
- +
-{{:basys3:device_connected.png?600|}} +
- +
-After your board is connected, just click program to load the GPIO demo onto your Nexys4. +
