| Challenge your programming skills with this fun project. Program the star with one of the sample pattern programs, or create your own. Then display in a window or on a tree at Christmas time, or any other time that you want an eye catching display in the form of a 5 pointed star.
This project covers topics such as:
- how the eye sees multiplexed displays
- control of time in a micro-controller
- Interfacing using SPI board level interface
- Programming procedurally with structure
- Using tables
- Using functions
The Star comes with a TICkit 62 process and a 64K bit eeprom, however the star is compatible with TICkit 63 processors and even the HUBbub 93 processor. Use EEproms up to 512K bits. |
