Started work on bare bones arduino
We had some minor hiccups following the schematic to build the arduino
After assembling the arduino, we tried to test it with the example blink code, when we plugged in the micro usb into the ftdi chip, the red led turned on
Jay (our mentor) was telling us this was a good indication that the arduino was constructed correctly. We initially used a Mac to upload the code to the arduino but after the IDE said that the code uploaded “successfully”, the light did not blink as expected.
We then tried it on the SCEL desktops (Windows) but got errors trying to upload the code.
Created document for mid semester report due October 31
Jay spent like a whole hour trying to trouble shoot for us
