Networking & Communications

This week is about getting at least two boards communicating with each other. Networking and coomunication is total new to me, so I will just try make a simple test, connecting two nodes with an RS-232 bridge. My board designs are based on Neil Gershenfelds design and the code as well, but I have to make some changes in the code to fit the aspects of my boards.

After making the boards, I connected the nodes and the bridge with a ribbon-cable. Before loading the code to my boards, I had to change the pin numbers so it would work with my boards.

After running Neil Gershenfelds code, I changed it a bit show that I understood how it worked. So I changed it so the boards blinked individual.

The code with my changes and the other files can be downloaded here.
