input devices
I made 3 input devices. The boards were milled on a CNC router, then stuffed, and programmed. using terminal in ubuntu i compiled the c, and then programmed the device.
in terminal:
button
sudo make -f hello.button.45.make
sudo make -f hello.button.45.make program-usbtiny
python hello.button.45.py /dev/ttyUSB0
Once programmed, when the switch is pressed the screen yields a "d" for down and a "u" for up.
microphone
sudo make -f hello.mic.45.make
sudo make -f hello.mic.45.make program-usbtiny
python hello.mic.45.py /dev/ttyUSB0
mic_testing
Once programmed, when the microphone reads a sound it is translated into a wave visually.
light
sudo make -f hello.light.45.make
sudo make -f hello.light.45.make
sudo make -f hello.light.45.make program-usbtiny
python hello.light.45.py /dev/ttyUSB0
Once programmed, I could not gain much variation in the visual slide bar. The sensitivity was affected by a short in the board, although there was some reaction to light
