The purpose of this assignment is to network several boards together in the form of a serial bus. The bridge board is connected to a computer via a FTDI cable. The two node boards are connected to the bridge board.
At least 2 nodes are needed to complete the job.
Steps:
1) Download the board diagrams
2) Download the code (text file)
3) Mill the board and soler the components
4) Modify the C code for each node of the network. Giving each node a different ID number.
5) In the C code change the line to #define node_id '0'
6) Save the file. Connect the bridge to the computer via FTDI header using the FabISP, flash the bridge a node 0.
7) Go to terminal and navigate to the C code folder. Enter this code sudo make -f hello.bus.45.make program-usbtiny.
8) modify the C code again and change the node id to 1
