- Place a block of 8 DIP switches on your breadboard, see
        Figure 2. 
 
- Connect each lead on one side to VCC.
 
- Put a 1k resistor from each of the leads on the other side to
        ground. Also on this side, place a row of 8 pin headers so that you
        have outputs from all of these switches.
 
- In order to be able to connect to the board you will need to
        solder pin headers to one of the prototyping areas (see
        Figure 3). Use area 
.
        For now solder the first two rows (Figure 4).
 
- Use Figure 5 for the pin labels.
 
- Now that you have all the hardware setup. Design the 
        BCD-to-seven-segment decoder and test it using different inputs using
        the dip switches.
 
- Implement your multiplexer program that you developed in the
        prelab.
