hi Jan,

really I lied because it's not just implement the project but write a short
paper about "what I do" and defend it orally. Take some code from somewhere
is fine, but I should be able to explain it and, of course, can't be a whole
plagiarism.

Obviously this is the first time somebody will make this kind of project
with a language different to VHDL (which is the language that they "teach" -
cough, cough -) or Verilog (few) and probably they mock or complain a bit
because are old-fashioned electronic-background people. But my arguments are
that I must solve the problem with the best tool for me ("think like an
engineer", teachers say, and I doubt if are words of wisdom) and it
guarantees the originality of the work.

regards

Martin
