EEE$/$CSC $120$ Capstone Design Project

Deliverables

You are to design two CONCEPUTALLY different synchronous state machines $($Possibly

Moore and Mealy$)$ that perform the task described below. You can use D flip flops, T flip flops

or J$-$K flip flops in your design. Strongly recommend JK FFs$.$ Mixing different types of flip

flops with different trigger edge sensitivity is possible but not recommended.

You will need to create both designs in Logic Works with the appropriate switches and logic

probes. See Moore and Mealy lecture design circuits.

Flight Simulator Project Summary

The goal of this project is to design part of the controller for a flight simulator. The flight

simulator is used to train pilots to handle various scenarios which they may encounter. Flight

simulators are quite sophisticated. Your company is designing a flight simulator and you have

been given the task of designing prototypes for the left$/$right control system. This system is used

to control how the field of view the pilots see moves as a result of the pilot controlling the plane.

The left$/$right control system is used to move the field of vision left or right so that the pilot

$$sees$$ how the plane is reacting their flight decisions. Hardware designed by another team

translates the pilot$$s actions to two signals which your design receives. Based on those signals,

your circuit outputs positional information so the display can be updated appropriately.

The system has two inputs, L and R$,$ and a $3-$bit output indicating position. The inputs function

as follows:

L$=0$ means do NOT move Left

L$=1$ means move Left N positions $($unless R$=1,$ see below$)$

R$=0$ means do NOT move Right

R$=1$ means move Right M positions $($unless L$=1,$ see below$)$

It is up to you to define the number of positions, N and M$,$ moved and a meaning for

the case where L$=$R$=1.$ Feel free to choose something that is easy to implement.

$($Hint: you might want to design the rest of the system, see what L$=$R$=1$ does, and

define it to be that! Such a method is not unheard of in industry!$)$

There are to be SEVEN positions possible with a center position and $3$ positions to either side of

the center. The output from your circuit is to display the current position. The output values you

must generate are as follows:

$111$: $3$ positions left of center

$110$: $2$ positions left of center

$101$: $1$ position left of center

$000$: center position

$001$: $1$ position right of center

$010$: $2$ positions right of center

$011$: $3$ positions right of center

The big design question is how far Right or Left the system should move when R$=1$ or L$=1,$

respectively. This is where your design expertise is required. The customer has asked you to

create TWO designs with the following rules:
