WEEKLY REPORT
Week 2 (8-14 October 2011)
Hi all,
What I’ve done last week:


Think about project ideas: Auto-Proxy, taxi calculator, matrix game, etc.
Do some research about each project, find documents for each.
Next week, I will:


Research on microprocessors. I intend to use atmega8, but actually, we have to decide based
on some decision matrix and what is required on our project.
Work on some parts of Homework 2.
So, good luck everyone.
Week 3 (15-22 October 2011)
Hi all,
Hope you guys are having great weekend. This is my WPR:
What I’ve done last week:


Review some type of Microprocessor
Research which programming languages are used for each type of microprocessor
Next week, I will:

Do more research on program code for chosen microprocessor
Week 4 (23-29 October 2011)
Hi Guys,
Late again, but here is my report:
This last week I:


Do research on ATmega168A: pins, ports, registers, etc.
Learn about Arduino: write some simple programs, such as: blink led, check sound on
ATmega168A
Next Week I will:


Work on flow chart and divide it into modules
Do research on my module
Week 5 (30 October - 5 November 2011)
Hi guys,
This week, I:



Overview Block Diagram
Research about my functional sub block diagram: led 7-seg and distance calculation
Start to write simple code in C language: blink led, assign pin as input, output, etc.
Next week, I will:



Finish my code modules
Create test plan for my module
Prepare for homework 6
Week 6 (6 -12 November 2011)
Hi group,
This week, I did:



Finish the calculator code
With module LED 7-seg: try a countup code from 0 to 999
Plan Test plan for LED code
Next week, I will:

Debug the code because it has some problems
Issue: LED does not work well. It displays digit 2 and 5 in a wrong way.
Week 7 (13 -19 November 2011)
For this week, I did:


Modify atmega168 software for: display 1 given value
Fix last week problem: it’s because of 2 resistors is shorted
Next week, I will:

Hopefully, we can get the boards so I can do some soldering and trying code in real PCB
Week 8-9 (20 November - 3 December 2011)
For the last two weeks, I did:



Solder my board (of course :D)
Update ATmega168 program to be suitable on the printed board
Create test cases
