Where the proud projects lie! Do you have a project? Let me know !
Check out Erik's project. He demonstrates using an external timer for his ATMega 168 microcontroller to achieve a more accurate timing rather than using the internal timer. Instead of showing his output on an LCD, since he didn't have enough pins available for the LCD's 8-bit interface, he chose to show the results through serial communication on his computer.
Everyone knows the first program is called the "Hello World" project. The Hello World program is intended for the newbie programmer get their feet wet and be as simple as possible. This is why, in the embedded realm, the Hello World programs is to simply turn on an LED. Joe didn't want to settle for the typical Light up, or blink the LED. He wanted to literally make a single LED communicate. How would a single LED communicate? Using morse code, obviously.
