Digital Display? #10

Are we allowed to use an arduino board separately for stuff like this. This would be really easy to do on that. It may also be easy on the picaxe... I might purchase a couple picaxe chips just to play around with them and the temp sensor, etc.

GaryLazerFinz commented 6 years ago

The trick with the arduino is we cant use the board. Only the atmega chip. I have an arduino that the chip can be removed. So we would program it , remove it and i guess solder a seat for it in our pcb. The picaxe doesnt take much to program it right on the pcb we create. It comes in a surface mount version as well. Ill order some with you, but we all have to agree on a chip as a group.

We can do that if we have time...I have part of digital display code which I did in the spring term.

GaryLazerFinz commented 6 years ago

Will you post the code in the repository? What chip did you use?

Xiaoqiao6 commented 6 years ago

The chip I used is the chip in the capstone lab(ECE351 used). I use Verilog code and I can find them tomorrow. I am not sure whether we can use it because the code also includes button inputs. Could you send our wiki link to the professor, please? You are familiar with the wiki. It looks like the homework for this week. Ting and I also are learning Python, another programming language. It might be helpful.

I sent them a link to the project proposal page. Please change anything you would like them to see. Did you use the Dragon AVR ? So far our project proposal doesn't mention a display at all.
