I fixed my nibble to ascii and my ascii to nibble lookup modules to use case statements. I tried to do math, but it didnt work. C2C Miller turned me onto the idea of a case statement. though it was redundent, it is strait forward and easy to diagnose.
I created the ROM to bring in one item, poll, then bring in the next item. Hopefully it will only output one char at a time. I also rerouted everything in my top level to hopefully get this stuff working.
C2C Busho explained how I can poll for data entry in my ROM. After he was able to explain that to me, I was able to get to inputting 3 buttons, then carrying and returning to the next line. Now I am working towards interfacing with the LEDs and switches
I am trying to get my program to recognize the swt and led commands. So far, I have not been able to get any confirmation that it is seeing those, but we shall see.
I have required functionality now. I had to conceptualize what my program was supposed to be doing. JMiller was pretty good in informing me that I had to poll for my led inputs
I actually have required functionality for picoblaze now. I was doing a <= instead of an = for my led_low and high_next signals. Once Capt. Branchflower pointed out the mistake, everything was golden. It was hard to catch because the particular command delt with the context.
