Hi! Me again…
So I thought I’d share the news…
Using the 1.1.a3 firmware, I was able to get my project going by inserting a few lines of code in the main program, just as the serial data goes out… one byte at a time, first four bits scale and control PWM on the first LED, second four bits to the next LED, and it pretty much went off without a hitch. I’ve since handed it off to the interns to figure out the power saving and other battery management stuff. The solar cell is monitored on pin 7 (reffed’ against the battery voltage) so we can figure out day and night, and the interns are going to figure out some wake-on-radio stuff. That will be useful, because as it sits, I think the whole board draws around 30 mA when powered up. I’ll be sure to post the code if we come up with anything good.
Also… this is what we’re making - PUBLIC ART!
