Problem Set
1. Build a finite state machine for the following state diagram:
A
B
G
In = 0
In = 0
In = 0
In = 1
In = 1
In = 1
Out = 1
Out = 1
Out = 0
Problem Set
1. Build a finite state machine for:• Design a state machine controller for an elevator. The elevator can be at one of two
floors: Ground or First. There is one button that controls the elevator, and it has two values: Up or Down. Also, there are two lights in the elevator that indicate the current floor: Red for Ground, and Green for First. At each time step (clock), the controller checks the current floor and current input, changes floors and lights in the obvious way.
