Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Design a simple FSM to control a coffee machine that allows the user to start brewing, pause, and stop. Explain if you would use a Moore or Mealy design and justify your choice.
💡 Hint: Think about the trade-offs between responsiveness versus stability.
Given a set of states for a parking meter FSM, suggest whether it can be implemented as a Moore or Mealy machine based on how payment influences the outputs.
💡 Hint: Consider whether the output change needs to occur instantly based on user inputs.
