INPUT
In this assignment we had to design and build a wired &/or wireless network connecting at least two processors.
LESSON >> video recording - web
PROCESS
I used the asynchronous system from the serial protocol, so I took the hello bus sample. I only used the sample bridge.
For both nodes I made a redesign adding some leds in each one. Bridge (1 led) - Node 1 (2 leds) - Node 2 (3 leds)
Using the modela and the mill 1/64 for traces and 1/32 for cut I made my PCB.
The final PCBs: 1 bridge + 2 nodes:
Now it is time to create the bus cable.
Programming using Arduino and the C code from Neil: hello.bus.45.c.
I used knowledge acquired in my work Embedded Programming. This is the program. :

You have to change this line for the number that you designed to each node, for exxample, for bride "0" and for nodes "1" and "2",
#define node_id '0'
Time to program my pcb:
OUTPUT
I had some connections erros, maybe I had problem with solder and my pcbs will not work again.
Here is the image of the error:.
The good news is that I learnt this assignment checking the work in real time of my partners.
