Progress on Blinky Ball

[Charley Jones]

Looks like the Atmel AVR dev environment changed, and working through issues.

 

I had orignally hacked my Atmel AVR ISP MK II to provide in-circuit power,

From some time last year, they actually decided to read the voltage before programming the circuit.

(The AVR ISP MK II is firmware upgradable...)

Of course my hack cranked this input.

I now have to provide my own power (Lady A's BreadBoard Power Supply)

And feed this into the avr mk II.

Power level problem solved.

The hack yourself tilt sensor is undergoing refinement.

What I've found out is that it gets stuck every now and then.

That means switching from a reset signal to an interrupt signal.

 

The store-bought tilt sensors arrived,

They are 70cents each, but trigger every time.

See BlinkyBall-Tilt Sensor Test.JPG

 

My first draft interrupt driven code didnt work and looks rusty.

So, I'm working back into the full program step by step.

 

And you've heard of armchair quarterbacking?

Well this is armchair hacking.

I like to hack projects while sitting on the couch.

That's why the red furniture!

Found these clear 2-piece plastic balls with some sort of tab on them at HobbyLobby on Ft. Apache/Tropicana yesterday.  There's another HobbyLobby on Stephanie/Sunset in Henderson as well.  It was in the section with a lot of jars and containers.  They have different sizes.  Potential case?
