This document describes a laboratory exercise involving the use of timers and real-time clocks implemented on an Altera DE0 board. It involves designing and implementing four circuits: 1) a modulo-k counter, 2) a 3-digit BCD counter, 3) a real-time clock displaying minutes and seconds, and 4) a circuit displaying Morse code representations of letters using LEDs. VHDL is used to describe the circuits, which are then compiled, simulated, and downloaded to the DE0 board for testing. Preparation includes writing and simulating VHDL code for parts I-III.
