/diy/ - Do It Yourself

agreed

I'd like to see some uC projects. It was /diy/ that inspired me to get one in the first place.

You just connect to a USB port
Create new project, Write program & click launch
CCS compiles and transfers to the uC
click run
I think programming Arduino with energa is similar

The launchpad provides a power supply and stuff to load the program onto the uC(I don't recall the details).
Once it's programmed, you can remove the chip from the launchpad.
Yea, you can buy just the chip.

The launchpad board is divided into 2 parts. 5 jumpers can be removed to disconnect the left side, leaving the right side just the uC, 2 buttons(1 is reset), 2 LEDs(can be disconnected) , and the headers

If you were familiar with the details, you could connect the left side of the board to a chip installed in something else to program it.

Has to be a /diy/ record

I'm an electronicsfag from the '80's and while annoyed by someone trying to use a uC that doesn't even understand ohms law, I appreciate being able to just hook everything to the uC and work it out with software.

That's an unfair assessment.
Gotta start somewhere.
I asked for an arduino code snippet to flash an LED here a long time ago and got comments similar to yours.
Some anon posted it and I became interested.
Got an MSP430 and started learning C.

Your discouragement is unwelcome here.

Why is that?
I love this old thing for what I use it for.
I did only give $50 for it though.(bad battery and no power supply)

Why not just make the code from scratch?
Great coding practice

Audacity works for a scope for this kind of stuff. Use a large R in series with a small one. Line in across the small R

$10

IR remote. The program uses the pronto code format. Using pronto made it far more difficult than it needed to be but eh, the program is pretty versatile and might come in handy for other stuff. Live & Learn
Guess I should have posted this pic but I've posted it here before.

Remote control curtains?

I just got my first IR program working yesterday. It's just the power for my TV, but I coded it to make adding new codes easy. No idea what I'm going to use it for.
