This document tracks a number of small exercises to prototype. The goal is not a final product but skill building.

  • Control a stepper motor
  • Rotary encode rotation data
  • Use a servo-motor
  • Build a filter (Hi-pass, low-pass, mid-pass)
  • Use the AVR chip from an Arduino (off the board)
  • Build a class D amp
  • Use a PL2303HX chip with AVR
  • Use an SPI LCD with AVR

Look into using shift registers for IO.

Stepper

First, control it with manual switches.

I'd like to build a driver around the AtTiny2313 or an AtMega8. Use 4 pins for the driver out, and 1 pin out to indicate if the motor is stopped. One input pin for direction and one for start/stop. The rest will be used for speed and steps. The idea is that another controller can give the driver and order like "take 120 steps over 3 seconds".

I should also do this at least once with a real stepper driver.
