Input Devices
The exercises for this week seeking to be implemented in my final project, which will use stepper motors to move the general mechanism.
A stepper motor (or step motor) is a brushless DC electric motor that divides a full rotation into a number of equal steps. The motor's position can then be commanded to move and hold at one of these steps without any feedback sensor (an open-loop controller), as long as the motor is carefully sized to the application.

For my project input my challenge was to create my personal Arduino, now with the name of F_Duino So as you can see my F_Duino is based in the FabKit but with some changes in the microprocessor, using the ATMEGA88 Voltage Regulator and adding one for the power supply. The first thing I do is program my board from Arduino and using my FabISP in-circuit programmer. Once I make the programming process, as I show in the pictures, I make a blink test to verify that receives information seamlessly. The exercise this week is to connect a potentiometer to my F_Duino and power it through the code attached, and the main goal is to mone a stepper motor while you move the potentiometer, to be able to control movements accurately.
You can download here the code for the Blink Test
