Micro Monday
Just wanted to let everybody know that we will be reviving and kicking off the embedded development workshop Micro Mondays Tonight starting at 7 PM.
Tonights agenda will be very informal, and will consist of establishing a barebones circuit to test and demonstrate the basic functions of the chip. We’ll learn to write a simple program, power up the chip, and run the program using a flashing LED as an output indicator.
Our microcontroller of choice is the PIC, however, feel free to bring your favorite microntroller (ie arduino) and necessary development tools for a side-by-side comparison.
No guarantees on how much ground will get covered, We have not prepared a lesson or anything like that and will be doing this off the cuff. We’re not expecting a huge turnout anyway due to the short notice. However, if you are interested, feel free to stop over, I’ll be in the electronics department.
We’ll planning on doing this regularly every Monday, unless it conflicts with another event.
Hope to see you there!
