13 years ago --- Quote Start --- 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... --- Quote End --- Yes, with an FPGA, anything is possible. However, much of what you describe here is also possible with a microcontroller, so it does not leverage the features of an FPGA. --- Quote Start --- .. but 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. --- Quote End --- You're on the right track; propose a project that you can implement with the FPGA hardware you already have access to. You can add sensors and outputs to that hardware to simulate your real-world application. Don't worry if you are reproducing an existing system. Your supervisor/reviewers should be grading you on your problem solving skills and on your solution. --- Quote Start --- 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. --- Quote End --- I'm sure you will.
