Make

For this weeks assignment I made one bridge board and two nodes.



Program

This is what I prepared for programming the network:

To program the boards I used a tutorial from last year. I found it to be helpful but not for the beginner so I went through it a few times before I actually managed to program my boards. This is how I've done it:

1. I downloaded Neil's files
2. I opened the "hello.bus.45.c" file and checked the node id.


3. I connected the bridge to the FabISP and connected both to my computer.

4.I opened the terminal, directed it to the file and wrote:
sudo make -f hello.bus.45.make program-usbtiny

5. Once the bridge was programmed I programmed the nodes, each time changing the node id# in the C code and connecting the wire to the correct node.


6. The final part was the networking which I made using Arduino Serial Monitor. In the serial monitor I pressed 1 or 2 and then Send/Enter to light up a node.
