Week 6 | Embedded Electronics


I am beginning on my solenoid driving circuit for my final project.

I first designed a schematic by hand and then in Eagle.



I milled the board, soldered it and made some hand-wound solenoids.







I used Atmel Studio and an ICE to program. Voltage good, ISP connection good. It programs!



My code is as follows:

Unfortunately, although the board programmed, the solenoids did not work. I completely forgot about biasing them properly. Otherwise, the board worked correctly.
