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

Resources and Information:

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 - ✓
