Output Devices - April, 15th 2015
New Board |
After a hectic week trying to figure out electronic details, I had to choose at least one output that can be useful in my final project. Stepper motors actually are quite interesting, even for someone like me who has no experience or previous interest in electronics. They are commonly used in printers and scaners, and in my case, the stepper motor is " the key " to the succeed in my project, from then now I must really make it work. I made some mistakes coneccting in Schematics, and it made my life more difficult. I had to fix it by hands... Designing

One More Adventure |
Before programming, I tested the board with the multimeter. Apparently all was fine until start again the adventure to set it. First I've created a folder called " week11programming " where I copied Neil's links: "hello.stepper.bipolar.44.full.make" and "hello.stepper.bipolar.44.cad". From then went to the Terminal and started to get this message: "avr-gcc no such file on directory". I had to look then at what was causing the problem and I understood that I should download the crosspack. Believing who lacked little, again a Terminal message pointed to another error: *** missing separator. Stop. After some research, the big problem was with my ISP board. And I'll have to fix it later!
