Group Project

This week was a doozy for me. Embedded programming is super new to me so the learning curve was steep. ChatGPT came in handy here for sure. Our group made a Google Doc of the different microcontrollers each of us has in mind for our final project. Link to that Google Doc here. I went with the RP2040 for my project due to its beginner-friendly nature and various capabilities:

We also got some helpful training on embedded programming:

Embedded Programming

With some help from ChatGPT, I was able to program my very first microcontroller on Wokwi. After starting the simulation, the user can use a push button to toggle an LED on and off. The user can also hold the push button for three seconds at any point to end the simulation. The microcontroller has been additionally programmed to print the status of the simulation.
