Week 3 Embeded Programming

✅ group assignment: demonstrate and compare the toolchains and development workflows for alternative embedded architectures

For our group lesson, we went over three different microcontrollers: the ATtiny (Tiny412), esp32, and the rp2040.

Some differences noted:
• ATtiny: needs external bootloader can code with Arduino IDE no micropython (easy way) esp32:
• wifi and bluetooth has its own bootloader can code with Arduino IDE support for micropython! rp2040:
• has its own bootloader can code with Arduino IDE support for micropython!

  ✅ Individual assignment: browse through the data sheet for your microcontroller write a program for a microcontroller, and simulate its operation, to interact (with local input &/or output devices) and communicate (with remote wired or wireless connections) its operation extra credit: test it on a development board extra credit: try different languages &/or development environments

  For week 3 I programed a rp2040's LED light, did simulation with the OLED displahy board with Arduino and trying to buy parts for Field Oriented Control of Brushless DC motors

  
  #LED Blink Red and Blue
  #include 
  
  int Power = 11;
  int PIN  = 12;
  #define NUMPIXELS 1
  
  Adafruit_NeoPixel pixels(NUMPIXELS, PIN, NEO_GRB + NEO_KHZ800);
  
  void setup() {
  	pixels.begin();
  	pinMode(Power,OUTPUT);
  	digitalWrite(Power, HIGH);
  
  	Serial.begin(9600); // open the serial port at 9600 bps:
  
  
  }
  
  void loop() { 
  	pixels.show();
  	pixels.clear();
  	pixels.setPixelColor(0, pixels.Color(255, 0, 0));
  	delay(400);
  	pixels.show();
  	pixels.clear();
  	pixels.setPixelColor(0, pixels.Color(0,0,255));
  	delay(400);
  	Serial.println("hello world");        // prints another carriage return
  
  }
