Fab ISP
hello.ISP.44.res
This weeks project was to make an Fab ISP. I made one few years ago when I was in collage. On the website there where few types of Fab ISPs so I decided to make 3 types. I made the one called David and then hello.ISP.44.cad and hello.ISP.44.res.cad.

After making the hello ones I got into trouble cutting out the .pdf file from David in Fab Models. After a lot of errors I noticed that the folder where I kept the files had the Icelandic letter "á". After I changed that mistake everything went well.

The soldering bit went really well except the USB-port. I think the problem may have been that I was using the soldering iron to hot. I cut out a new board and focused on getting the USB-port right this time and now it worked perfectly.

Here are some pictures of the result:

Programing

After the board was ready it was time to try to do something with it. I plugged it into one of those AVR microcontroller and began to follow the instructions on the website, academy.cba.mit.ebu.
After the Fab ISP was ready I took out a step response called hello.txrx.45.cad which I made earlier this year.
I am still working on the step response which could be a good project for the future when I am going to work with input devices.
