\section{Introduction}  Lab 9 covered the combination of the RS232 interface with an on-board memory module in order to playback a song that was sent over the serial connection. In order to do this, I had to use the UART decoding and timings circuit from lab 8 and connected the result of the decoding to an on-board memory block which store the information. When an 8 bit signal was finished being decoded the memory block would then play the stored song to a speaker connected to the VGA port on the FPGA. With this circuit, I was able to play the provided file called 'Chimes_16s.txt" 'Chimes\_16s.txt"  by copying and pasting it over the serial monitor to the FPGA.
