fpga for beginners
Hi,
I'm planning to use an FPGA in a project I have currently. and I was wondering which FPGA kit is best for my application.
Basically I have lots of TTL compatible switches (around 50) to turn on and off in a certain pattern.
I'm thought that the best way is to use an FPGA kit with lots of digital I/O to control the switches based on a pattern that I will load into its memory.
I came across Altra's cyclone III kit which is around $200.

Any one here knows other alternatives and can tell me about the pros and cons of different kits. This is my first FPGA application and I require no fancy processing or interfacing to other hardware, I might need to read a 16bit ADC in the future.
I took a course in VHDL 4 years ago, and I had no problem in programming, I just need to refresh my memory, and I was planning to use Altium Designer for programming.
I appreciate you help
