Digital Electronics

Project Summary
 
This circuit was created to effectively decode Morse Code typed into the button interface and display the decoded letters onto a monitor.

Spring 2003
 
Class Project
 
Engineering Programs/Methods Used:
  • VHDL
  • PSpice

 

Project Details

My partner and I created a Morse Code Decoder as part of an open-ended digital design project. We used PSpice to design our circuit and then implemented it in VHDL code.

A challenging part of our project was to implement a serial cable so that our data could be displayed on a computer monitor. We did this by creating our own UART chip in VHDL code so that we could utilize the RS232 serial cable.
