Networking and communications week.

I was quite looking forward to this. It seemed easy, until the moment you start.

I milled out one bridge board and around 3 nodes. There were no problems with the milling out of the boards or the soldering.

And then came the moment to program them. So I programmed them with the codes from Mercedes. Strange enough it took me a few attempts here to make everything work. We kept trying and in the end tried on another computer. There everything seemed to work perfectly and when we tried again on mine, there were no problems.

After figuring out that the connection worked on my laptop, I started changing the text of the nodes.

Frosti also told us that we'd better not use 9volts in the circuit board. So I searched for an adapter of 5volts. We've put a metal pin in it and then connected 'crocodiles' on it. To the other side we used the battery connector to conect with the board. It seemed to work fine.

The code that I used was:

>>sudo make -f hello.bus.45.make program-usbtiny

>>sudo make -f hello.bus.45.make

When you want to open the python file to let the connection run you use this code:

>>python term.py /dev/tty{your usb gate, same as from the input week} 9600
