11. Output Devices¶
TThis week Ihad to design and build a board to make an output device work. In my case neopixels, I chose neo pixels because I wanted to use this week to build a part of my final project a reading light.
Group Work¶
For the group work this week we powered an LEd when a button was pressed using a breadboard and then used anostillascope to see a different boards output.
Designing and Milling¶
Designing the board went really well I used my button board as a base and took out the LED and the button and put in headers and a compacitor in. I also condensed it down a lot. Milling went smmothly as well since I’ve done it many times before.
Soldering and programming¶
Soldering was uneventful I just had to go back and fixed some soldered together pins. I melted the Attiny 1616 chip so I ended up replacing it.
Once I put the new chip on it was easy to program. I used some prewritten code that I had found online from arduino and edited it to work wth the 1616.
