Embedded Programming
This week's homework requires us to program a board to do something meaningful. We could design a new circuit, mill the board, and sell the components, as we have done. Electronic design, among others....
Then it was time for the new lesson and I am very disappointed and ashamed to admit that I couldn't follow it at all. Programming seems not to be my field. I was starting to understand some things in the last few weeks, but now I feel completely lost. Mastering electronics was the main reason I chose to do Fab Academy and I hope I can find a place soon.
I decided that maybe I should try a proper programming language and started doing some reading, but haven't gotten anywhere yet. Up to this point I just have a confusing bundle of information in my head!
Right now, I feel like Sisyphus carrying a rock on top of me up the hill, not quite sure I'll make it to the top before the rock rolls again!
I hope this is just a very steep learning curve, which I will eventually manage to climb. The plan for tomorrow is to cover many pages of the 'Data Sheet' in the hope that it might help things fall into place.
I started going through the data sheet and started having a LOT of questions! Although the presentation screenshot cleared things up a bit, I soon felt like I needed to understand more about the abbreviations I was reading. Especially the ones that looked like hieroglyphics to me so I wrote down their abbreviations and did some Google searches which gave me the various results.
Program used: Arduino
Now that I am a little calmer and downloaded the "Arduino" software.
