3rd and 4th Quarter Proposal

Description:

  • The instruction set to program the micro-controller will be learned from the PDFs of the Atmel website and from some of the linked websites
  • The soldering of the cube will be finished
  • The cube code will be written using the programming software
  • It will be tested for bugs and brought into class when finalized

Progress:

  • All of the necessary parts to build the cube have been bought - Done
  • A programmer to load the code onto the micro-controller has been purchased - Done
  • Enough C has been learned to be able to to program the micro-controller - Done
  • A blink LED program has been executed - Ongoing
  • The parts have been soldered onto the proto-board and are ready to be programmed - Almost done (some connections to the 40 pin connector/microcontroller remaining)

  • The instruction set to program the micro-controller has been learned - Ongoing
    • Good tutorials have been found explaining the programming process - Done
    • The tutorials have been finished - Ongoing
    • The programming of the main program has been started -
  • The cube has been tested -

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:

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 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
  • Program the micro-controller with the finished code and make sure that it works
    • After figuring out how the micro-controller 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

Progress:

  • The C Programming website has been completed and program files for each section have been written - Done
  • The parts necessary to build the cube have been ordered or gotten - Done
