OUTPUT DEVICES
This week's assignment: "add an output device to a microcontroller board and program it to do something".
DC MOTOR MICROCONTROLLER BOARD: THE PROCESS
I made the DC motor board this week, and for the first time, I did not hit any major road bumps getting
to the finished programmed board!! I finally got the routine down: adjust the 2D z (mm) to -0.12 or -0.13,
solder all the pieces on using pictures and board.png on the class website, check the various datasheets
to make sure that all directional parts are oriented in the right direction, program the board using the
make -f hello.[filename].make
and
sudo make -f hello.[filename].make program-usbtiny / avrisp2
commands, etc. But the little motor worked on the first try :).
Instead of the two capacitors at the lower right of the board, I put a ten and one kilo-ohm resistor, but
the board still works.
And sticky buns from Thanksgiving!
