The purpose of music is elevation of the human spirit.

Music has the power to destroy sadness and dispel sorrow.

Music is like a shield that protects the human from unfavorable conditions.

A metronome is a device that produces an audible click or other sound at a uniform interval that can be set by the user.

I became interested in RTL digital circuit design and FPGAs and decided to build a metronome in order to put what I’ve learned into practice.
A field-programmable gate array (FPGA) is a type of configurable integrated circuit that can be programmed or reprogrammed after manufacturing.

I decided to use Xilinx Artix 7 based FPGA development board (Digilent Basys 3):
Magic Beat Metronome

For the RTL level digital circuit design I used Vivado and Verilog.

The metronome in action:
