Labs

Overview

Each lab has several checkpoints in it. You are required to demo the checkpoints to your TA during each lab session. Many labs build upon past work (if you construct an I2C serial interface in one lab, you will probably need to use it later on), so you are strongly encouraged to understand each assignment.
