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
      • Discription 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 reasources are found during the quarter


Resources and Information:


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
    • This may be done at school or at home
  • The finished cube should be brought to class by 1/14/11
