| In this next exercise, you will configure the FPGA with a different circuit. To use and experiment with this new circuit, you need to load {{ :labs:nexys4byuuserdemo.bit |this configuration, or bit, file}} onto the FPGA. You will be loading bit files on the the FPGA for **every** lab each week. You will be creating your own bit files in future lab assignments from the circuits you design. | In this next exercise, you will configure the FPGA with a different circuit.
