With the success of the hardware driven alarm clock, it was decided that the a more challenging project was desired. This clock has all of the same features as the other clock but was created with an Altera Cyclone II FPGA at its core. A proof of concept was created on a DE1 demo board, after which a design was created and a 2-layer board was fabricated. The LED ring is driven by four 16-bit shift registers, the center display is a multiplexed display driven by the FPGA. Currently a new 3D printed enclosure is being worked on to further enhance the look of the product.
