Just checking the buttons is a bit limited in terms of what you would learn. So, would your FPGA be used to control the elevator motors, or perhaps communicate the elevator location and motion parameters to a control system? Perhaps the FPGA could be used to control the elevator motion, i.e., from a stop, accelerate at a specified rate until reaching a specified speed, and then decelerating to reach the desired floor. The design has to be complicated enough for you to learn something practical. --- Quote End --- what i have in mind about elevators, is that i would be doing a remote control access to the elevator, where u can check errors, set parameters to the existing code, watch the motion of the elevator in action on a screen. but im trying to find a way to connect it to the internet, maybe connect it to an ethernet card.. but im not sure if that even possible.. even that i think in FPGA everything is possible... this is what im think i will do .. buit after research i find that there is already a remote control for elevators, maybe i can make it less expensive in a way.. or less complicated.. thats why i find it interresting. and i dont have to worry alot about the materials because its more logical than phisical. but this is not for sure my project.. im still doing some research about other topics too.. hope ill come up with a good project. dave thanks alot for your posts! cheers:)
