Learning about embedded programming
To do:
Group assignment: I worked with my colleague Jhasmin Ayala
1. Demonstrate and compare the toolchains and development workflows for available embedded architectures
Individual assignment:
1. Browse through the data sheet of your microcontroller
2. Write a program for a microcontroller, and simulate its operation, to interact (with local input and/or output devices) and communicate (with remote wired or wireless connections). Extra credit: Test it on a development board & Try different languages and/or development environments

Individual assignment:
1. Browse through the data sheet for your microcontroller
I used AI (ChatGPT) to identify the main technical aspects of the datasheet and present some applications
RP2040 Data
2. Write a program for a microcontroller, and simulate its operation, to interact (with local input and/or output devices) and communicate (with remote wired or wireless connections).
i) I used the wokwi.com website and selected the Arduino Uno option
ii) Started from scratch
iii) I created a code that uses an SSD1306 OLED display and an Arduino Uno microcontroller to display an image of Snoopy on the screen. Previously, I completed the following steps: The Snoopy image was converted to BMP format, and the I generated the code in hexadecimal using https://javl.github.io/image2cpp/, I added an OLED display and made the necessary connections, I ran the simulations (note that this code uses two libraries that Wokwi automatically detects. If you don't have them installed, you will receive a prompt to install them)
Here's a a video of the results of my experiment, and here are the files.
