Level-to-pulser

Finite state machine implementation of a device that takes a level change (low to high) and turns it into a one-period pulse.

module levelToPulse(clk, in, out, reset);
   
   input  clk, in, reset;
   output reg out;
   reg  [1:0]  state, next;

   // States
   parameter WAIT_LOW = 0; 
   parameter WAIT_HIGH = 1;
   parameter RISING = 2; // I've just seen a rising edge
   parameter PULSE = 3; // I'm in the process of generating a pulse

   // Reset or update the state on every clock
   always @ (posedge clk or reset) 
     begin
        if (reset)
          begin
             state <= WAIT_LOW;

             out = 0;
          end
        else
