Design and Implementation of Washing Machine HUD Using FPGAs
In contemporary digital design education, practical field programmable gate array (FPGA) projects are indispensable for bridging theoretical concepts with real-world applications. This project focuses on developing a hardware-based simulation of a domestic washing machine controller using the Xilinx Spartan-3E development board. A critical component of the design is the graphical heads-up display (HUD), which renders real-time information about the machine's operational state and cycle selectio…

Currently taking a break from the neverending volleyballoon game in the lounge room. Wee grandson has his da and grandda conscripted while I am secreted in the laundry waiting for the washing machine to complete its cycle in... 2 minutes now. Hope everyone is having a lovely Sunday. I stayed in bed until 9am! Had 2 cups of tea. Then I resignedly got up, got dressed, and officially started the day.

There's something immensely satisfying about putting the washing machine on at exactly the right time.
