**********************************************************************************************************************
In this blog I am going to experiment with an automatic sliding door. I explored several solutions and in the end I decided on the one that I show in this chapter and hat I describe below:
- The Arty S7 board controls the movement of the cabin.
- The CMOD S7 board controls the automatic sliding door.
- The Arty S7 board is connected to the CMOD S7 board to notify its status.
- When the cabin moves up or down, the automatic sliding door is locked.
- When the cabin is stopped at the first floor, then the automatic sliding door can be opened or closed for users to enter or exit.
Automatic Sliding Door Design
This device was built from the reuse of an old CD player. In the end, I disassembled the electronic part, removed the locks and only the sliding tray and the CD motor remained.
I covered the automatic sliding door prototype with white cardboard and glued it with silicone. Below I show you an image when the sliding door is closed.
Below I show you the open sliding door. I also had to remove some plastic to achieve free movement of the sliding door.
CMOD S7 Board Programming
I used the example used in chapter 2 of this tutorial as a reference, so the name of the project is door_opening.
Then select the CMOD S7 25 board.
Finally, we verify the project data and click finish.
I have created the file door_opening.sv and the finished file looks like this
`timescale 1ns / 1ps

module door_opening(
input clk,
input wire logic pio1,
input wire logic btn0,
input wire logic btn1,
output logic pio2,
output logic pio3,
output logic led0,
output logic led1
);
always_comb begin
if (pio1 == 1 && btn0 == 1) begin // open the door
pio2 = 0;
pio3 = 1;
led0 = 1;
led1 = 0;
end else if (pio1 == 1 && btn1 == 1) begin // close the door
pio2 = 1;
pio3 = 0;
led0 = 0;
led1 = 1;
end else begin
pio2 = 0;
pio3 = 0;
led0 = 0;
led1 = 0;
end
end
endmodule
We need some constraints. Save the following as Cmod-S7-25-Master.xdc
## 12 MHz System Clock
set_property -dict { PACKAGE_PIN M9 IOSTANDARD LVCMOS33 } [get_ports { clk }]; #IO_L13P_T2_MRCC_14 Sch=gclk
create_clock -add -name sys_clk_pin -period 83.33 -waveform {0 41.66} [get_ports { clk }];
## 4 LEDs
set_property -dict { PACKAGE_PIN E2 IOSTANDARD LVCMOS33 } [get_ports { led0 }]; #IO_L8P_T1_34 Sch=led[1]
set_property -dict { PACKAGE_PIN K1 IOSTANDARD LVCMOS33 } [get_ports { led1 }]; #IO_L16P_T2_34 Sch=led[2
## Dedicated Digital I/O on the PIO Headers
set_property -dict { PACKAGE_PIN L1 IOSTANDARD LVCMOS33 } [get_ports { pio1 }]; #IO_L18N_T2_34 Sch=pio[01]
set_property -dict { PACKAGE_PIN M4 IOSTANDARD LVCMOS33 } [get_ports { pio2 }]; #IO_L19P_T3_34 Sch=pio[02]
set_property -dict { PACKAGE_PIN M3 IOSTANDARD LVCMOS33 } [get_ports { pio3 }]; #IO_L19N_T3_VREF_34 Sch=pio[03]
## Push Buttons
set_property -dict { PACKAGE_PIN D2 IOSTANDARD LVCMOS33 } [get_ports { btn0 }]; #IO_L6P_T0_34 Sch=btn[0]
set_property -dict { PACKAGE_PIN D1 IOSTANDARD LVCMOS33 } [get_ports { btn1 }]; #IO_L6N_T0_VREF_34 Sch=btn[1]
How does it work?
- When pio1 is equal to zero, the automatic sliding door is locked.
- When pio1 is equal to one, the automatic sliding door can be opened by pressing the btn0 button.
- When pio1 is equal to one, the automatic sliding door can be closed by pressing the btn1 button.
Schematic Diagram
With the addition of the CMOD S7 board, the L293D driver and the automatic sliding door motor CD, the final schematic diagram looks like this:
Arty S7 Board Programming
Since we have added new devices to the original design of the Mini Elevator Arty S7, the codes of the "mini_elevator_arty" project also need some changes. Below I show you how the main.sv code looks:

Testing the Automatic Sliding Door
Below I show you a basic test of this sliding door, it is necessary to make sure that there are no obstructions and that everything is working according to plan.
Everything is fine, now it is time to continue with the experimentations, below I show you the video where we can verify that the project is working well.
Here ends this blog. In the last blog I will write a summary of what I learned about the Spartan 7 FPGA, including experiences, conclusions and future plans.
