'''Description:'''
−
*  Continue working on the 1st quarter project by learning C to program the micro-controller
+
*  A single LED cube will be built using an ATmega 16 to control it
−
**  There will be more websites used this quarter with more concise information on programming the micro-controller
+
*  The ATmega 16 will be programmed with C using AVR Studio and an AVRISP MKII to load the program onto the micro-controller
−
***  If more websites are found during the quarter they will be added to this page
+
*  The instruction set to program the micro-controller will be learned from the PDFs available on Atmel's website and from other linked websites
−
***  Discription from the previous quarter should be read for more information on the project
+
*  A breadboard will be used to aid in learning the instruction set and to ease programming
−
**  Two books (C for Unix and C++ for You++) will also be used along with the websites to help accomplish this task
+
**  An ATmega 168 will be used in addition to the ATmega 16 while the instruction set is being learned
−
**  The goals and deadlines may be altered if more reasources are found during the quarter

'''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 compeated 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 by 1/4/11
 
−
**  The instillation and testing will only be done at home but the code may be written at school
 
−
**  A seperate board may be created for this purpose
 
−
*  Program the micro-controller with the finished code and make sure that it works, this should be completed by 1/12/11
 
−
**  After figuring out how the microcontroller works the writing of the final code should begin
 
−
