Summary

Using a FPGA to draw a Reuleaux Triangle using VGA output

Key Takeaways

• Used external IP (vga core adapter) for own design
• Output data externally

Project Components

Implemented Modules

• Bresenham circle algorithm
• Reuleauxtriangle algorithms by using the multiple instances of the circle algorithm with extra bounds
• Fillscreen with black pixels (to clear the screen)

HDL code can be provided upon request, due to course policies.

Simulation

• Full testbenchs for all modules using ModelSim Altera

Compilation

• Quartus Prime

Hardware

• De1-SoC FPGA
• VGA-supported monitor

Provided Modules

• VGA adapter core (converts framebuffer view to VGA output)

Provided Information

• Pseudo-code for the algorithms

Results

Able to draw the Reuleaux Triangle on a VGA monitor, such that the pixels mimiced what I ploted in Python.
