This week we Embedded a program into our micro chips. This is the result of the last two weeks of work as this process involved us connecting our programer to a computer and to our circuit board using the rainbow cable we made during week five.

Step 1: connect programmer and circuit board

Step 2: plug programmer to computer

Step 3: Access blink code

 

Settings for blink

Part 1:

/*
Blink

Turns an LED on for one second, then off for one second, repeatedly.

This example code is in the public domain.

*/

// the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board
void setup() {
// initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output.
pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}

// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
delay(1000); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
delay(1000); // wait for a second
}

Step 4: Alter code to work with programmer

// the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board
void setup() {
// initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output.
pinMode(8, OUTPUT);
}

// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
digitalWrite(8, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
delay(1000); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(8, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
delay(1000); // wait for a second
}

Step 5: upload code
