This week I learned about output devices. I chose stepper motor as an output device since I will use it for my final project. First I tested with breadboard to see how stepper motor work, and made PCB for output device.

Assignment

  • group project: measure the power consumption of an output device
  • individual project: Add an output device to a microcontroller board you've designed and program it to do something

Learning outcomes:

  • Demonstrate workflows used in circuit board design and fabrication
  • Implement and interpret programming protocols

Have you:

  • Described your design and fabrication process using words/images/screenshots.
  • Explained the programming process/es you used and how the microcontroller datasheet helped you.
  • Outlined problems and how you fixed them
  • Included original design files and code
