How exciting can 8 LEDs be?
It’s the Microcontroller equivalent of ‘Hello World!’ - getting 8 LEDs to light signifying that you’ve put a data port into ouput and changed the bits from 0 to 1.
It might not seem like much progress towards an autonomous (or semi- autonomous) vehicle, but in reality it’s a big step, because it means I have all I need to program 16 bit controllers.
I had a bit of a dud start yesterday - impatiently I dove straight into instant gratification and tried to get one of the higher value examples going, but nothing seemed to play ball.
So, calmly, one step at a time, RTFM and surprise, surprise, it does what it says on the can.
As long as progress is being made, no matter how small the steps, then all is good. After all if it all happened too quickly and easily, it would be no fun would it?
