-  * **Open Example Project:** This will guide the user through creating a new project based on an example project. These projects will not work on all devices. Many Digilent example projects are instead released on Github, and linked to through the target FPGA System Board's Resource Center, which can be found through the list of [[:reference:programmable-logic:start|List of Digilent FPGA System Boards]].+  * **Open Example Project:** This will guide the user through creating a new project based on an example project.

 One of the LEDs on the programmed board will now be blinking! The rate at which the LED blinks depends on the speed of the clock used by the FPGA. Given that the counter created in the Verilog source file takes 2<sup>25</sup> clock cycles to roll over, for a 100MHz clock, the LED will blink three times per second. One possible next step to learn some more about verilog would be to try to modify the Verilog source file so that the LED blinks only once per second. There are many good resources online to learn more about Verilog and other hardware description languages, far more than could be listed here. One of the LEDs on the programmed board will now be blinking!
