Project Ideas

Hello everyone i have been working on FPGA and CPLD's for the past 6 months and i have gained sufficent expertise to do something innovative or atleast challenging in my final year project.I have designed ALU units,also implemented the Dice game and also made a processor on a FPGA so my mentor has asked me to come up with an idea using the Dragon FPGA board.Here is the link

The idea should revolve around using the PCI bus for example PCI bus master or PCI bus analyzer doing something useful,he suggested me that i should think in terms of what is missing or incomplete on the board.Waiting for your replies.

PCI is fast and FPGAs have many IOs. Maybe buy some RGB LEDs, think how to build some drivers, which are controlled with PWM signals from the FPGA and build the next Cubatron:

The FPGA works as a FIFO for precise timing for controlling the LEDs. The PCI bus would be idle most of the time, but you'll need more speed for a high resolution version of a spinning globe:

In this video you can see how it works:
