University of Texas at El Paso Electrical and Computer Engineering Department EE 2169 –Laboratory for Digital Systems Design I Lab Final – Algorithmic State Machine – The Burrito Vending Machine Due Dates Prelab: 7/3/2017 Demonstration 7/6/2017 Design Package: 7/9/2017 1:00 pm You are tasked with designing the digital system of a burrito vending machine. The vending machine will be rolled out all over UTEP campus by the beginning of the 2018 Fall term, so the design package (which should contain your ASM chart, Verilog module (.V), user constraints (.UCF), programing (.BIT) files, team members, and conclusions) is due by Sunday, July 6 at 1:00 pm. The vending machine is designed to hold three different types of burritos: Bean, Steak, and Chicken. It only accepts US coin denominations of 5, 10, and 25 cents. The price of each burrito is based on your student ID number but has to be a multiple of 5 (you may round to nearest power of 5 achieve this restriction). For example, if a student engineer has a student ID number, the bean burrito should be priced at $0.20, the chicken burrito at $0.50, and the steak burrito at $0.90. The steak burrito should be the most expensive of the three. The bean burrito should be the cheapest. You may decide the prices based on your student ID in the report document and use them as constants when describing the system. Design the vending machine so that it displays the balance on the two seven-segment displays at all times. When initially programmed or reset; the machine should have a “00” balance. Assign the buttons on the DFEB as follows: BTN3 = $0.05 inserted, BTN2 = $0.10 inserted, BTN1 = $0.25 inserted, BTN0 = reset machine. Use the switches to choose each burrito as follows: SW7 = Bean Burrito, SW6 = Chicken Burrito, SW5 = Steak Burrito. When vending: all LEDs (LD7 through LD0) should turn on and the seven-segment display should show which burrito it is vending (“BB” for Bean, “CB” for Chicken, and “SB” for Steak). After one clock pulse, the vending machine should return to the initial “00” state and wait for the next customer. Additional notes: 1. Assume only one button or switch can be pressed at a time. No need to account for multiple inputs being active. 2. Max total inserted coins is $1.00. 3. If the inserted amount is less than the selected burrito’s price, no action is required; optionally, indicate insufficient funds. 4. Use a 1Hz clock signal for synchronization. Please draw the ASM chart for your design as per chapter 8 of Mano & Ciletti. The design package should include the ASM chart (PDF or Word), Verilog module (.v), user constraints (.ucf), FPGA programming file (.bit), team member names, and notes & conclusions. Submit as a zipped folder named EE2169_Lastname_Firstname by July 6, 1:00 PM. Late submissions will incur grade penalties.

Introduction

The task of designing a digital vending machine for burritos encompasses a range of core digital design concepts, including state machine modeling, hardware description language (HDL) coding, FPGA implementation, and user interface integration. The predominant challenge is to develop a system that accurately handles monetary transactions, user inputs, and vending outputs while maintaining reliability and ease of use within specified constraints. This paper details the systematic design process, from defining system requirements to implementing a functional simulation, ensuring alignment with academic and practical standards.

System Requirements and Constraints

The vending machine must dispense three types of burritos—Bean, Steak, and Chicken—each priced based on a student's ID number, rounded to the nearest multiple of 5 cents, to ensure compatibility with standard US coin denominations of 5, 10, and 25 cents. The prices are fixed as constants within the system: for example, a typical scheme could set Bean at $0.20, Chicken at $0.50, and Steak at $0.90, with Steak being the most expensive and Bean the cheapest.

Input mechanisms include coin insertion buttons (BTN3, BTN2, BTN1) and a reset button (BTN0). Coin values are accumulated to display the current balance on two seven-segment displays. Selection is made via switches (SW7, SW6, SW5), each corresponding to a burrito type. The system must ensure that only one button or switch is active at a time, simplifying state management and avoiding ambiguous inputs.

The output interface encompasses visual indicators: LEDs (LD7–LD0) illuminate during vending, and the seven-segment display shows which burrito is dispensed. Vending occurs only if the inserted amount is equal to or exceeds the burrito price; no change is returned. The system resets after vending to await the next user.

Design Approach

The design begins with formulating an Algorithmic State Machine (ASM) chart that captures the system's behavior, including states for idle, coin insertion, selection processing, transaction validation, vending process, and reset. The ASM chart, as per Mano and Ciletti (Chapter 8), highlights state transitions triggered by input signals and conditions.

The primary components of the system include:

- A coin accumulator that sums values from button presses.

- Logic to compare the current balance with selected burrito prices.

- Output control logic to activate LEDs and seven-segment displays.

- Timed transitions managed by a 1Hz clock to ensure consistent timing before returning to the idle state.

Verilog HDL coding translates the ASM into a module that takes the inputs (buttons, switches, clock) and drives the outputs (seven-segment, LEDs). This module encodes the state machine, manages the counter for coins, and updates the display accordingly.

Implementation Details

The ASM chart's states include:

- Idle: display "00", wait for coin or selection.

- Coin Inserted: update balance based on input coin, remain in this state until a selection or reset.

- Check Funds: verify if balance >= selected burrito price.

- Vending: activate LEDs and display burrito code ("BB", "CB", "SB"), wait one clock cycle.

- Reset: clear balance, revert to idle state.

The Verilog implementation involves defining parameters for the prices, inputs, outputs, and state encodings. State transitions depend on input signals and current balance. The coin accumulator is implemented as a register that sums coin values when buttons are pressed, with safeguards to prevent exceeding $1.00.

In the vending state, segment encoding displays the burrito code. LEDs illuminate to indicate vending activity. After the vending cycle, the system resets the balance and returns to the idle state.

Testing and Validation

Simulation of the Verilog code verifies correct state transitions, coin accumulation, and display updates. Testbenches emulate various input sequences, including different coin combinations and burrito selections, validating that vending only occurs when funds are sufficient and the system resets appropriately.

Conclusion

The vending machine's design effectively models user interaction through a finite state machine, ensuring correct handling of monetary inputs, burrito selection, and transaction completion. Implementing the ASM as per established digital design standards ensures modularity and clarity. The design aligns with specified constraints and demonstrates practical application of digital system design principles suitable for FPGA implementation.
