Output devices

Week 10

Output Devices

Tasks

add an output device to a microcontroller board you've designed and program it to do something

RGB LED Board

After watching Neil's lesson and take a look at the options i had, i decided to make the RGB Light output Device, wich i'm going to use in my final project to illuminate my greenhouse interior, according to daylight's level.
I started by downloading the files needed to the project and then milled the board in our modella. collected the components and soldered all the components to the board.
Colecting the components

Soldering the components

I had to verify all the solderings at the end because the board wasn't flashing properly, and found 2 weldings that weren't supposed to be connected. I connected a 9V battery to the board for auxiliar power.
Connecting a 9V Battery

Testing the board

When all components were connected to my FabIsp i compiled the C code:
sudo make -f hello.RGB.45.make
and then
sudo make -f hello.RGB.45.make program-usbtiny
sudo make -f hello.RGB.45.make program-usbtiny
avr-objcopy -O ihex hello.RGB.45.out hello.RGB.45.c.hex;\
avr-size --mcu=attiny45 --format=avr hello.RGB.45.out

avrdude done. Thank you.

This is my Final Board

Everything went well. Work done! Here's my final video:
