Success on first circuit!
OK, today was my first uninterrupted day to spread out the breadboard and tools and work on my "blinky light" circuit in the book "Physical Computing". After a couple of weeks of interruptions, missing parts and the resuscitation of my wife's old toshiba laptop I had a morning to work on my first circuit with the Atom Pro 24M microprocessor!
After checking the instructions and fearing I might fry this 50. chip on my first go, I had success. Woo Hoo!!! a magnificent little blinky light. Yeah I know I am getting carried away, but I feel that I have gotten over a large hurtle and I am now going to go out for a calibration run. The weather is incredible today and I am not going to stay inside all day*
Now that I am over this initial project I feel allot more confident about going forward.
One baby step at a time for now...
