'''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 - ✓ (click the links below to view)
 +
**  Two sections should be done during each class
