Hello to everybody.
I am about to start a new project and i was wondering what components to use.
I have worked a bit with PICs and 8051 microcontrollers. A guy suggested me to use (and learn) FPGA. I have looked a bit in the internet and i saw that FPGA is about constructing your 'custom' microcontroller by using logical gates. fair enough. What i dont understand is how am i going to do complicated operations. Like let;s say implement a communications protocol. I don't know if i am explaining well enough so i am going to use an example:
In a mc that can be programmed with C you can use the following:
Can you do this using FPGA?????
Thank you.

Code:
variable packet = packet_received;
if (packet.firstbit==0)
{
LED = 1;
}

Thank you.
