Thing #4

18 02 2007

For thing #4 I worked with Tyler and Nick. We did most of the work on my board so that we could get to the programming sooner, but Tyler is planning to finish his board this weekend and Nick already had it done. The soldering was a little too intricate for me, so Tyler helped a lot with that.

During the switch portion of the assignment, we found that port A5 didn’t work for the LED. We changed the program to port A3 and everything worked perfectly. By the end of lab time, we had the potentiometer sending values. We got the speaker wired, but didn’t get it sounding yet. Since Tyler helped do the difficult soldering, I spent my time soldering wires to the switch, potentiometer, and speaker.

Nick and Tyler are getting together on Sunday to finish the assignment. I’ll be communicating via email because I’m flying to California to visit some schools for next year. Check out the links below.
