Here’s a write-up for a project or lab experience titled — written in a style suitable for an engineering blog, lab notebook, or portfolio. Write-Up: First Day Of School 2 – Candid-HDl Date: [Insert Date] Author: [Your Name] Tools Used: Candid-HDl, FPGA board (e.g., Arty, Basys 3), Xilinx Vivado / Intel Quartus Overview The second installment of the First Day Of School series dives into Candid-HDl — a hardware description language (HDL) framework/tool that emphasizes clarity, readability, and a Python-inspired syntax for digital design. The goal of this lab was to move beyond traditional Verilog/VHDL boilerplate and experience a more intuitive, expressive approach to describing hardware.

# Edge detection always @(posedge clk): button_prev <= button_sync if debouncer.trigger and (button_sync == 0 and button_prev == 1): toggle_state <= not toggle_state

# Debounce FSM fsm debouncer: state IDLE, WAIT on IDLE: if button_sync == 0: goto WAIT with count = 0 on WAIT: if count < 20ms: count = count + 1 else: goto IDLE with trigger = 1 end
