Group Assignment:
lThe Group Assignment For the group assignment we recorded the specs for each of the listed boards.

Data Sheet for BorFeather M0

Board: BorFeather M0 lora 900MHz
Processor Family: ATSAMD21G18 ARM Cortex M0 processor,
Bus Width (bits): 20 bytes
Clock Speed: 256K of FLASH
Memory: clocked at 48 MHz and at 3.3V logic
Number of I/O pins: 8 x PWM pins
Logic level voltage: 3.7V Lithium polymer batteries and built in battery charging. You don't need a battery, it will run just fine straight from the micro USB connector. But, if you do have a battery, you can take it on the go, then plug in the USB to recharge.

We secured a piece of wood to the bed using screws and double-sided tape. Then we set the X,Y, and Z axis.

Individual Assignment:

Programming ATTiny1616 using arduino in multiple IDEs I used the software Arduino and Visual Studio Code to program my ATTiny1616 and the Arduino Uno board.

Here we are with our proper protection!

But before this I had to create my code. I did this by first experimenting with arduino tinkercad

Here I am using the block code setting in arduino tinkercad to get used to how this coding formate works with leds

Here is how my block code translated into c++

Making something Big!

Brandon transformed our design in fusion 360, Here are the finished photos And design files.

Then I copy and pasted this code into arduino and pressed run.

Then I downloaded the Visual Studio Code IDE

Here I am adding in my code into the workspace and maing sure my tool settings are all correct for the board and micro-controler I was using.

But as soon as I ran the code I got this error message.

I then had to follow these instruction (link here) to install python to allow the program to run

Finally we realised I needed to hit the command retrieve pip3 since I was prevoulsy hitting the commend to retrieve a diffrent version of python and my updated mac was causing issues understanding which verion of python I needed. We put everything together and this was the result.

I ented this command into the visual Studio Code under my previous code that can also be found here: Here is my code! Here is the link to the directions I followed to SETTING UP THE PROGRAMMING INTERFACE and INSTALL PYUPDI link here

Here is my code!

Here is the link to "hero video" of my programed board blinking the led lights in a cool way!link here

For the Arduino Uno Board I completed the same steps but changed the tool settings to function for the Uno instead of 1616
