Input Devices
Phototransistor
Electronics production
Components needed to build the Hello Light board are:
* 2 Resistences: 10k and 49.9k
* 1 Capacitor 1uF
* 1 ISP connector
* 1 Attiny45
* 1 FTDI connector
*1 Phototransistor
Programming the board
Flashing the board with AVR ISP. First attempt "Error 1" because the microcontroller was not totally in contact with boards trace. Once this was fixed everything goes ok.

Running the hello.light.45.py
1. Connecting the board to the computer with a FTDI. 2. From the assigment fabacademy site I dowloaded the hello.light.45.py file. I open the terminal and I went to the right directory where this file was saved. Once at the right directory, in my case was "examples" at the "pyserial-2.5" folder; I typed:
python hello.light.45.py /dev/tty.usbserial-FTFD96P8
.
To know what usb connection my computer was using I opened Arduino ide and have a look at the serial ports active at that moment: /dev/tty.usbserial-FTFD96P8.
Below all the process to run the hello.light.45.py from the terminal.
