Proposal
Description:
- A single LED cube will be built using an ATmega 16 to control it
- The ATmega 16 will be programmed with C using AVR Studio and an AVRISP MKII to load the program onto the micro-controller
- The instruction set to program the micro-controller will be learned from the PDFs available on Atmel's website and from other linked websites
- A breadboard will be used to aid in learning the instruction set and to ease programming
- An ATmega 168 will be used in addition to the ATmega 16 while the instruction set is being learned
Progress:
- All of the necessary parts to learn the instruction set for the micro-controller and build the cube have been purchased (see list below) - ✓
- The C Programming website tutorials have been completed and a program for each section has been made - ✓
- Two sections should be done during each class
- Sections completed during the last class should be reviewed to ensure that its not forgotten
- Tutorials have been found that explain the programming process sufficiently (links to tutorials will be posted as they're found) - Ongoing
- Start working with the micro-controller understand how it works - ✓
- The breadboard should be used so circuits can be made, tested, and then disassembled
- A blink LED program has been executed - Ongoing
- Wire the circuit and load the program onto the micro-controller - ✓
- Test the circuit and make sure the LED blinks - Needs Debugging
- Other beginner programs should be made and tested - Ongoing
- All of the necessary parts to build the cube have been purchased (see list below) - ✓
- All parts have been soldered onto the proto-board and the circuitry has been wired - Ongoing
- The LEDs have been bent, soldered into layers, and and soldered together into their final cubic form (see Pictures 1 to 6) - ✓
- The remaining parts have been soldered to the proto-board - ✓
- The finished LED cube has been soldered to the proto-board -
- The circuitry has been wired and the micro-controller is ready to be programmed -
- The programming of the main program has been started -
- The final cube has been tested -
