Assignment: Design and build a wired &/or wireless network connecting at least two processors.

 

For this Assigment I decided to use my Attiny44 board and build the board for my final project. I wanted to program my board with the Camera and SD card software and control the camera with the sensor connected to another board. This way I could already have part of the software for my project.  Unfortunately everything went wrong for this week.

First the components for the board I want to make ( it is called satshakit  from FabAcademy) did not arrived. I purchased them from Mouser and UPS still can´t find my home. And I already had the other components (Camera, SD card reader, Bluethoot and my board already machined.

 

 

 

Then I decided to design and make another board with components easily found in Puebla. all of them through hole. I bought an Atmega 328 with a 16 Mhz Xtal I stole frome a broken Arduino Mega Board.

Then I burn the bootloader as it can be seen in the video

After that I could not upload the program. It was impossible. I spent hours trying to use my board. Always the same error. As if it wasn't connected.

Then I tried to use my Attiny 44 board with the Arduino Mega to make connection between them. At first I loaded the program to may 44 board, then when I made the connection something happened. It lost the program and when I tried to re load the program I had the same error. So since  the assignment was to design and build a wired &/or wireless network connecting at least two processors I decided to cover this assignment next week building an app in android and connect it to a board for my final project

After all tries I decided to use my old Attiny 44 board and connect it to my Arduino Mega and control the arduino light with the attiny 44 board´s button and the attiny´s led with the arduino.

 

The board I designed at Electronics design has a led on pin number 4
