Week 04 - Embedded Programming

This week’s assignment was focused on embedded programming using a microcontroller.
The main goals was to learn how to:

  • browse and understand a microcontroller datasheet
  • write and test a program for an embedded system
  • interact with local inputs/outputs
  • communicate with remote wired/wireless connections
  • upload working code and show a functional result

For my individual assignment, I used an Xiao ESP32 C3 development board, soldered male pin headers, and tested it on a breadboard by blinking an LED, then upgrading the circuit with a button input + Serial communication.

Week 01- Project Management

This week was about setting up the documentation foundation for the rest of Fab Academy:
version control + documentation + publishing a website.

My goal was to end the week with:

  • a site that publishes on Fab Academy GitLab Pages
  • a clean Git workflow
  • a repo that I can update every week without breaking everything
  • about, weekly and final project pages
