Progress Report 002

1. Finished building single-letter 5x5 LED display.

2. Assembled HCF4094 Shift Register circuit.

3. Re-wrote letter display program for the M32 board.

Now I have a single-letter display I can use for my tests, on top of that we are using the HCF4094 Shift Registers. I haven't used the buffer in the shift registers yet, it doesn't seem necessary but I will test them anyway.

As you might have noticed, I'm temporarily using these clips to connect the pins on the Atmel, I know it's not very safe! But I couldn't buy the right connectors, maybe you can get some of them for me?

Progress Report 001

Dear Miss Bugmann,

I'm writing in regards to your 'Secret' project. I have received your M32 boards and have begun my tests. The boards are functioning perfectly and I am able to program them without any problems. I managed to do a first test shifting data from the M32 to the new HCF4094 Shift Registers (please see attached video). No problems encountered.

Next I will continue to test the HCF4094 by using it's buffer (this will eliminate our previous problem with the slight but perceptable 'blinking' of the LED's when shifting occurs). After that I will create a duplicate of the display that we have already built in Zurich. Once that is complete I will begin testing with sending pulse-width data between the two M32 boards.

I hope you find my work to your satisfaction. If not please file any suggestions or complaints directly to my superiors.

Looking forward to a continued collaboration with you,

Mr. Chan Tinlun

Secret Project Begins!

Okay, so I thought it's probably a good idea to have a means for us to share our thoughts, inform each other of our progress, and basically have a record of everything. Hence this blog.

I will post regular progress reports here, including some videos/photos.

Feel free to put down your thoughts and progress here as well. I think this will really help us organise our work!
