Abstract: The goal of this work is to showcase the capabilities of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) as powerful reconfigurable computing devices for educational and research purposes. The work will demonstrate the high processing power of an FPGA by controlling multiple I2C buses to and from peripheral sensors. The article will provide a guide on implementing a state machine in VHDL hardware description language and will present the response of the sensors and the working capacity of Basys 3 FPGA. The I2C signals will be visualized using a Logic Analyzer and explained. The conclusion of the article will highlight the capabilities of FPGAs and explore the potential for their use in other complex tasks.

Keywords: FPGA, sensor, I2C, fast processing, resource usage.
