5. Electronics production¶
This week revolved around electronic design. We had the task of soldering and programming our own pcb chip.
Research¶
This was my first experience in this so I wasn’t exactly sure. I modeled my design from a previous students design.
For this task I copied the trace file and then converted it to png.
From there I uploaded it in to the modules site giving to us from the instructor. I had to key specific coordinates so that I could have the machine find the cut paths.
I had some troubled converting the file to the right format. Its important that you use modules to convert the file into a rml.
From there I uploaded my converted file in V Panel and the had the milling machine cut out the pieces.
Form there I pulled the components and the soldering them to the boards.IT was kind hard the first run . So I tried twice.
Once I got them down I tried to program them. With Atmel tech. scheme2.jpg

Code Example¶
Use the three backticks to separate code.
// the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board void setup() { // initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output. pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT); } // the loop function runs over and over again forever void loop() { digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level) delay(1000); // wait for a second digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW delay(1000); // wait for a second }
