XOR gate from AOI Logic - Lesson 2.4.1
As you are developing your date of birth circuit, you may discover in your K-Maps XOR or XNOR logic gates may be beneficial to your designs. While excluded from the logic in the circuit, consider how you can build one from the AOI and NAND / NOR Logic we can use. This video shows one approach to recreating XOR logic with AOI and NAND gates, but be mindful that there can be simpler, more elegant ways of building your circuits. |

Logic Converter - Activity 2.2.1 Day 2
Watch the video and compare the logic converter to the simplification systems that you have been using so far. How is using the logic converter easier than Boolean Algebra? How is using the logic converter easier than K-Mapping? |

What is an FPGA? - Lesson 2.4.2
This is a simple introduction video to Programable Logic Devices (PLDs) and FPGAs. Note what these PLDs do and how they differ from Programable microcontrollers. |

Introduction to Arduinos
Arduinos are a low cost programmable micro controller. In the video note how it can be used to take a common input and preform multiple tasks. While a logic circuit could be used in its place, the arduino has a lower cost and lower barrier to entry |
