it's a home project. I was liking the ability to enter schematics and math. So a pic would be better? I'm a total newbie to any of the programable devices (other than an eprom lol ), and happened upon an article about entering both schematic information and vhdl, and the jtag programming meant I don't have to purchase an expensive programmer.. my other option was to use a pll to multiply the signal by say 100, then a set of programable counters/dividers with switches to get the lowered count out. , but I lose the the display, and it's not precise nor very attractive, just seems a cludgy way of doing it.
<---wondering how hard it is to program pics.. lol
Edit: ok, so pic programming is even easier than cpld.. lol back to reading..
