Serial Communication

This week I began by working with Premila. Together we worked on making our boards talk. We began by using Neil's hello echo files and two of our previous boards with Attiny 45's.

I connected my Tx to her Rx and vice verse, and send charachters but nothing was happening. She was master, I was slave, and her board spoke through FTDI to the computer. So we decided to look at the signals. At some points they did match. After more debugging, we finally were able to send charachters between our boards. Here are the files we used.

WROOM BOARD

After serial Communication, I decided to take an attempt at bluetooth communication, in hopes of implementing on my final project. This was the board progress.

I was able to use the "EECS_Labs" as the ssid and "" blank as the password. I successfully connected the wroom board as a client.

I followed Neil's video and these were the settings I used.

I also redesigned Neil's board in EAGLE. This is the schematic and bird images, with the files included below.

I am now working on sending accelerometer data through bluetooth to my computer.
