CSE331 Project Milestone 2 - AVR Digital Thermometer Flow Chart

Since the basic version of my project is quite simple, the flowchart is also straightforward. I am getting the feeling that when I start building the project, it will probably require additional steps than listed above. Since I don't have a lot of knowledge, I am unable to imagine what those steps could be. I will know when I start I guess. For example, I only came to know recently that I have to "burn" my code using a programmer. There are probably many more stuff that I don't know, so it is kind of difficult to draw the chart accurately. Work Flow Read the AVR manual found on here . Understand how AVR Programmer works. Complete some tutorials on AVR Programming. Connect the components using this post as the reference. Test and debug until it works. Once the above 5 steps are completed, we move to next stage where we upgrade the project.

CSE331 Project Milestone 1 - AVR Digital Thermometer Proposal

Project Title: AVR Digital Thermometer Members: Mohammad Samiul Islam (1430008040) Why this project? I have years of programming experience, but literally 0 experience in Applied Robotics. I always wondered how they made robots and stuff, but never got the opportunity to get involved. I once made a blinking light using a raspberry pi and that is literally all the exposure I ever received in robotics. In the course CSE331, we have to build something using a microcontroller. Since I am a total beginner, I wanted to start with something simple. Out of all the projects that I went through ( http://nevonprojects.com/microcontroller-based-projects/ ), this one seemed the easiest. Here are my reasonings for choosing this project: It uses AVR microcontroller that we were taught in class making it relevant. I am a beginner. This project did not scare me; instead gave me feeling that I can do it. I am viewing the project as a stepping stone, i.e, I intend to extend the therm...
