3rd Quarter Proposal
Description:
- The instruction set to program the micro-controller will be learned from the PDFs of the Atmel website and from some of the linked websites
- The soldering of the cube will be finished
- The cube code will be written using the programming software
- It will be tested for bugs and brought into class to be finalized
Progress:
- All of the necessary parts to build the cube have been bought - Done
- Enough C has been learned to be able to to program the micro-controller - Done
- The parts have been soldered onto the protobaord and are ready to be programmed - Almost done (just the connections to the micro-controller are remaining)
- The instruction set to program the micro-controller has been learned - Ongoing
- The cube has been tested -
Parts:
- The following parts will be used:
- Protoboard
- Atmel AVR Atamega16 micro-controller
- Programmer for the micro-controller
- 64 green LEDs
- 1 green (above) and 1 red status LED
- 16 220 ohm resistors for LEDs
- 2 470 ohm resistors
- 1 10k resistor
- 4 2.2 k resistors
- 4 2N2222 transistors
- 6 0.1uF ceramic capacitors
- 2 22pF ceramic capacitors
- 1 14.7456 MHz crystal
- 2 tactile buttons
- Power switch
- Connector for 5v power
- 40 pin connector for micro-controller
2nd Quarter Proposal
Description:
- Continue working on the 1st quarter project by learning C to program the micro-controller
- There will be more websites used this quarter with more concise information on programming the micro-controller
- If more websites are found during the quarter they will be added to this page
- Description from the previous quarter should be read for more information on the project
- Two books (C for Unix and C++ for You++) will also be used along with the websites to help accomplish this task
- The goals and deadlines may be altered if more resources are found during the quarter
- There will be more websites used this quarter with more concise information on programming the micro-controller
Resources and Information:
- Installing the Software on the Micro-Controller
- 5x5x5 LED Cube Instructable
- ATmega16 Programming Guide
- ATmega Architecture Guide
- ATmega32 Programming Guide
- AVR Programming Guide
- AVR C Programming Guide
Goals and Deadlines:
- Work through all steps in the C Programming website by 11/19/10
- This should be completed at home by the date above
- After each step is competed a program containing what was learned should be written
- Work through all of the steps in the ATmega16 programming guide by 12/6/10
- Two steps of the guide should be done per class period
- What was learned the last class period should be reviewed the next class period so it is not forgotten
- Start working with the micro-controller by installing and running beginner programs to understand how it works
- The tutorials above should be used to learn how to program the controller
- The installation and testing will only be done at home but the code may be written at school
- A separate board may be created for this purpose
- Program the micro-controller with the finished code and make sure that it works
- After figuring out how the micro-controller works the writing of the final code should begin
- This may be done at school or at home
- The finished cube should be brought to class
Progress:
- The C Programming website has been completed and program files for each section have been written - Done
- The parts necessary to build the cube have been ordered or gotten - Done
- The programming process for the ATmega16 miro controller has been learned - Done
- The code to program the micro-controller has been learned -
- Writing of the final code for the cube has begun -
