- All ok for those who participated the tutorial... If you have difficulties in participating the following discussions, let me know.

1. Quartus II Tutorial
- Change the link for downloading QuartusII web edition (See link correction on the website);
- Change the disk from q: to your account disk i: (applies for all course projects)
- Compile after creating or modifying your design, before simulation. 
- When you want to simulate with a new vector wave file, you need to change the target .vwf file in the simulator tool (Processing -> Simulator Tool). Here you can also change the mode of simulation (Timing/Functional)
- do not connect bus to single wires without naming them. When you name the bus/wire correctly, you even don't need to connect them.

--- Since I was not able to show you each step on the instructor's computer, I will go through some of the details during the next discussion section.


2. Homework 1 
- Discuss next time ..

3. Other questions
