Microcontroller Success
After staying up half of the night, the program for the Atmel
microcontroller power control unit was deemed satisfactory. Then I spent
half of today ironing out glitches inherent to moving from the test chip to
the real one (they are different models). After all of that, it only took 15
minutes to build a breadboard prototype of the final circuit. Though the
prototype is designed to work on only 5V, it should not take long to modify
it to handle 12V and build the final unit.
These past three days have been extremely educational.
