Embedded programming.
This week we played a little with programming using the board we made and to which we placed the XIAO RP 2040 microcontroller and we tried it in the activity of week 4. We did the programming with Thonny and Arduino
As these are my first interactions with microcontrollers, it took me a long time to analyze how they work and their interaction with the board we had printed.
To clarify, I made a map of the pins, that's when we realized that some pins did not fit well with the theoretical location of the pins.
To rectify the problem, we had to perform a small "surgery" on the board to rectify it so that in the future we can connect the UAR cable.
With these pictures I made a 3D model and obtained:
Before programming we need to install a Firmware. We download it from the page: https://micropython.org/download/RPI_PICO/ and install the version:
Vendor: Raspberry Pi
Features: Dual-core, External Flash, USB
Source on GitHub: rp2/RPI_PICO
Installed version: v1.22.2 (2024-02-22) .uf2
Thonny is downloaded to be able to run the codes written in Microphyton on the microcontroller.
I have carried out several tests using microphyton, controlling the LED lights, the button and printing response messages.
