-===== How to Build and Program =====+===== Download and Launch the Nexys 4 XADC Demo =====
  
-You will need...\\+>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. Vivado installed on your computer\\ +===== Using the Nexys 4 XADC Demo =====
-2. Nexys4 board from digilent\\ +
-3. Wires and a voltage to measure\\+
  
 +This portion will help you run the demo and observe all its features.
  
-==== 1. Generate the Project ====+==== 1. Applying a Voltage to the XADC Port ====
  
->1.1) Download the repository linked in the download section and unzip it in the location of your choosing.  
-> 
->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]] 
- 
-==== 2. Build the Project ==== 
- 
->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. Program the Nexys 4 ==== 
- 
->3.1) 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 XADC demo onto your Nexys 4.

->4.1) Applying a voltage to the XADC port 
-> 
 >For this demo, the AD11P and AD11N pins are used on the JXADC header. We hooked up a signal generator to our pins. All of the other pins were grounded to avoid coupling. >For this demo, the AD11P and AD11N pins are used on the JXADC header. We hooked up a signal generator to our pins.
