I’m still at the ECE shops right now. I’m tired, and I’ve been working on this since 11AM, well over 12 hours now. We fried a bunch of stuff not to long ago, broke a sensor, and now for some reason my microcontroller randomly resets whenever I read inputs from at least one of the ports. I haven’t had time to get anything resembling a working encoder going…but I did make a neat looking housing, that doesn’t even use the part I was working on earlier that cut open my finger. We’re going to have an injury section of our demo and presentation, detailing my cuts and burns, and Helya’s 2nd degree burn blister in the shape of a transistor.
Back to troubleshooting this damned thing…maybe Port A will work better than Port B….here’s to hoping.
Edit: Did you know that diodes glow and make a funny high pitched noise when you put them from power to ground backward. Diode shaped burns hurt on your fingers though. Also, I think this compiler just likes to make me re-write code from scratch because it randomly started working again after I did that.
