 It is a good idea to make an **ECEn220** folder in your J Drive, make a **labs** folder inside of that. You should also create a sub-directory for each lab in the course. You will be generating a lot of files for these labs and need to keep them separate. It is a good idea to make an **ECEn220** folder in your J Drive, make a **labs** folder inside of that.

-As described in the [[tutorials:​laboratory_instructions]] tutorial, you are required to do a simple personal exploration exercise for each lab. The intent is to have you learn more by doing something ​you are interested in and that is not required in the lab.  +As described in the [[tutorials:​laboratory_instructions]] tutorial, you are required to do a simple personal exploration exercise for some labs. The intent is to have you learn more by doing something ​additional.
-You probably have already done some personal exploration as you have completed the lab and are welcome to describe what you did in the lab report. To help you come up with personal exploration ideas, each lab assignment will provide some suggestions.+
  
-Here are a few suggestions of personal exploration activities for this lab:+Here are a few choices for personal exploration activities for this lab.  Choose one and do it and describe it in your lab book:
   * Configure the FPGA with the original configuration bit file by repowering the board. Describe what is shown on the VGA display with the original circuit and compare it with the display with the configuration file provided in this lab.   * Configure the FPGA with the original configuration bit file by repowering the board. Describe what is shown on the VGA display with the original circuit and compare it with the display with the configuration file provided in this lab.
   * View the temperature of the three different devices on the board and record their values. Discuss the differences in temperature. Why would the temperature on different parts be different?   * View the temperature of the three different devices on the board and record their values. Discuss the differences in temperature.
