Sorry I rained on your parade. Trial and error synthesis using a logic analyzer works also. I guess I spent too many years hooking up those little clip leads and waiting for a trigger.

BINGO!!!
Id like to start there ... after I have gained some experience, I can buy a more more expensive FPGA board with larger resources
Thanks
I like to put equal time in reading/research as I do in "lab work".
Theres a certain joy and "ahah" factor that comes from seeing the results in front of you.
priceless!
Not only are HP16xxx logic analyzers cheap on eBay these days, but making one out of an FPGA is yet another fun project.
Anyone want mine?
it's real easy. The hard part is coming up with some nice host software!

I would have a peek at the MachXO (Lattice)

It's an FPGA CPLD crossover, and it's around 90 eur.
It's a small board with LED's, Switches, and a small prototyping area.
