The mini project lauches

Hi, everyone:

This blog is for our year 2 project.

The project title is the development of a vending machine controller on an FPGA.

Before the Chritmas vacation, we had a small group meeting and a little discussion with our supervisor, Prof Jeremy.

In our first group meeting, my partner and I discussed our ideas about the project and then make a schedule for the project. And after discussion with the supervisor, he gave us a general guidance about how to start the project.
