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
Progress:
- Work through all steps in the C Programming website - ✓
- 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
Progress:
- The C Programming website has been completed and program files for each section have been written - ✓
- The parts necessary to build the cube have been ordered or gotten - ✓
