Molding and Casting
Fab Academy - Embedded programming Project
- - read an AVR data sheet
- - make serial and programming cables
- - add (at least) a button to the serial echo hello-world board
- - modify the serial echo assembly program to respond to the button
- - modify the serial echo C program to respond to the board
To edit in inkscape Open Cad.py Cam -> Select .png

Fab Academy Make something big
Pressfit babychair What I learned Remember in pressfit counstructions, rembember corners. see project info: user:frosti/make something big
Fab Academy - Hello World project
I made Hello.light. Sensor and Hello.RGB board.
Things that I have learned.
- It's very important to turn things rightly.
- Remember that on microcontroler that 1 is where the dot is.
- About resistors, you should notice the difference between 10 Ohm and 10.000 Ohm.
Problems not solved yet, 2009-11-11.
- RGB Chip is not working properly.
- Program has been installed but it doesn't work properly
Programming the board in Windows
- Open AVR studio.
- Select New Project -> Project Name -> Atmel AVR Studio
- Select Atiny44 Next ->Finish
- Copy paste .asm code into the project
- Build -> Build and Run
Connect programming cable and serial cable.
Copy the .hex file into avrdude folder on C:\
- Open cmd
- tiny44 load hex file: avrdude -p t44 -c bsd -U flash:w:file.hex
- tiny44 use 20 MHz xtal: avrdude -p t44 -c bsd -U lfuse:w:0x7E:m
Problem:
- can't open device giveio
Solution:
- Load the driver using: loaddrv.exe
- open avrdude in cmd and write: loaddrv start giveio
(then it says: starting giveio..... ok.)
In Ubuntu I made hello.Step45.MTA.cad board
- Turn .asm file to .hex file
- open terminal go to the same location as the .asm file, write gavrasm filename.asm and press enter.
Programming hello.step45 board in Ubuntu frosti@frosti:~/Desktop$ avrdude -p t45 -P /dev/ttyS0 -c dasa -U flash:w:hello.step.45.hex
- Connect the programming cable
- open terminal go to the same location as the .hex file
- Problem I could not program, because it seemed to lack energy.
I connected battery cable to the 4 pin +, - to the ground part.
- Then I could program it using right cable and writing the lines above.
- Next step was to get program working so I downloaded hello.step.45.py
- Then I opened the terminal and wrote frosti@frosti:~/Desktop$ python hello.step.45.py /dev/ttyS0 and press enter
- Yes belive it or not it works
Fab Academy - Pressfit
I made pressfit construction kit in Inkscape. See further information User:Frosti/Pressfit Using cardboard (width 2,5 mm).
Final project proposal - Interactive square
Concept Make interactive square behind our Fab Lab in the center of town Vestmannaeyjar. Have sensors around the square and respond on projector depending on peoples behavior. Make the square fun, interactive and educational about the islands, Fab projects and other innovation projects. <video type="youtube">D2-wL8jAxVI</video>
Final project proposal - Location system system for things at home and office.
Most things at home will be connected to the internet. The aim is to build system so that I can be able to locate any thing at home and office, including my glasses, wallet and remote control. And also to locate things at the office. The system will also be able to know what things I take out from the home and at what time and date. The system will be built on Internet Zero and RFID technology.
