Final Overcurrent test

Here you will see the full assembly working, then a close up of the overcurrent being detected.

On the Basys3 board, there are 4 sections for the 7 segment display. The first digit displays the direction of the motors, the second and third digits display the speed (0 to 63), and the last digit displays if overcurrent is detected.
The speed is 63 deferent duty cycles, read in hexadecimal form. So 00 is the lowest whereas 3F is the highest. 

During the video the overcurrent can be seen at the start, this is due to the overcoming of the initial motor friction. Later, the treads are stopped, this also shows that the overcurrent is detected. you can see the last digit change from a 0 to 1, and the lights on the circuit turn on.
