Welcome to ELEX 2117. Our first lecture will be on Thursday, January 4.
Labs will begin the week of January 8. Parts kits for the labs will be available for purchase from the BCIT bookstore for $6.95. These are only available to students registered in the course -- you will need to ask for the "ELEX 2117 Parts Kit" at the front counter and show ID. You will also need some components from your Level 1 parts kit (the EPM240 CPLD board, USB-Blaster, Dupont/Berg jumper wires, and some space on your breadboard).
