Programming Computer Chips

Posted in Electronics, Programming at 10:14 pm by Chris

Recently I purchased some electronics and built this

What you see if a power regulation system at the top of the bread board. This makes sure there is a nice 5V going to the chip at the bottom which is an ATMega168. I hooked it up to the seven segment LCD display and wrote a program to make the display cycle through the numbers from 0 - 9 with about a one second delay between each.

Here is a collection of pictures taken throughout March.

We went down to Indy for Andy’s birthday early this month.

Isaac and I were trying to pass time in the car by taking pictures. Here are a couple of the better ones.

Our little family stayed overnight at a hotel on IUPUI’s campus. It was probably the most modern hotel room I’ve ever stayed in.

We ate at Ruby Tuesday’s for Andy’s birthday party.

Isaac is learning to pull himself up on things. The baby has no fear of anything. He’s had a couple tumbles but nothing more serious than a slight mark on his head.

We made it outside on one of the sunnier warmer days. Isaac didn’t quite know what to think of the grass.

We had Easter dinner and egg hunt at Jeff and Theresa’s.

Here is Isaac’s 8 month picture with Tigger. It is getting harder and harder for him to lay still so this is the best I could do.

That is all for now. We are leaving for Denver, CO on April 5 for a wedding of one of my college friends. We’ll try to take lots of good pictures the whole trip. It will be Isaac’s first plane ride.
