Skills used: PCB milling (KiCAD and MODs), soldering, bootloading (HomeBrew), and programming (Arduino).
I milled this PCB on the Roland SRM-20 in the Arch Shop via MODs. This process of PCB milling is the same process covered in Week 04, head there for more detailed instrcutions on this step.
Part 2, Programming:
Once the 4-pin D11C was milled and soldered, I went back to some earlier tutorials shared by our TA, Laura, about bootloading and programming. To start I first downloaded EDBG, HomeBrew, onto my Mac. Which I thought downloaded successfully at first. It wasn't until I tried to install hidapi, that I realized I was having issues pointing the program to the directory.
After several failed attempts with my Mac, Kim offered to help me by using his computer. Using his computer we bootloaded the D11C and ran the "blink" program with Arduino, no problem.
