This week I built an additional board and attempted to connect it to my board from last week and program it to blink an LED on the new board.

Assignments

Group assignment

Send a message between two projects. See here for the group page.

Individual assignment:

Design, build, and connect wired or wireless node(s) with network or bus addresses and local input &/or output device(s)

I designed a board using the instructions from Adrian Torres on using a master board and a node board to blink an LED. I was able to mill the node board and load software on the individual boards. I ran out of time to find the error in the communication. My master board was designed using a Xiao RP2040 which was different than in Adrian's example which may have something to do with it. It seems that since the boards work individually the error is either in the connection between the boards or in the software and I was not able to identify this in time. The video above shows the node board working but I will need additional time to complete this assignment.
