(we're going Spanish this week) On Lunes, I said that I would Complete the PICAXE-28 Project board and by that I mean plug in everything I need to make the board work for my project.
To achieve this, I had to:
1. Remove certain pins and plug in new ones
2.Tape and solder the pins to the project board
3. Take out the Darlington receiver and plug in a series of 330 Ohm resistors that will reduce the amount of noise that is sent beack to the microcontroller.
Did I achieve my goal? Yes and No, I managed to puet the pins and hold them in with tape but I forgot my soldering gun so I couldn't solder them in. I also took off the Darlington receiver but couldn't get the 330 Ohm resistors on because I had to do some more research and find out the correct way to handle them.
What went well? The Darlington receiver was easy to take off and the pins were easy to insert.
What did not go well? I didn't have my soldering gun with me so the pins right now are held in tape.
I am finally getting started on putting together the Robot and I am extremely excited to continue with Genius Hour.
