Week 7 - Embedded Programming

Oct 25, 2016

OVERVIEW
We took the next step in making things behave this week. Embedded programming is about making a microcontroller (we used an ATTiny44) control something else (in my case, a button controls a light). Skills include:

Embedded software (using C or Assembly)
Programming a board with the fabISP (also using an Arduino bootloader)
Testing and troubleshooting

Embedded Programming

New board completed

Experimenting with Japanese Joinery

Making a fabISP enclosure
