The purpose of this board is to take input from a phototransistor and display it visually using a python program when the board is connected to a computer via a FTDI cable. Link to the Fab Academy board diagrams / pngs and code.

To Flash the Board

sudo make -f hello.light.45.make program-usbtiny

Hello Microphone Board

The purpose of this board is to take microphone input and display it visually using a python program when the board is connected to a computer via a FTDI cable. For whatever reason, I found that the non-fab inventory microphone I used only picked up high pitched electronic noises / music.  The microphone / program did not display input from sounds in a lower range or general music or background noise.

Visualized Microphone Output – Dead Kennedys “Man With The Dogs”

Programming Hello Microphone with the FabISP

To Flash the Microntroller:

To program your Hello Microphone – download all the files

sudo make -f hello.mic.45.make program-usbtiny

If Working – This is the Terminal Output Produced

avr-objcopy -j .text -O ihex hello.mic.45.out hello.mic.45.c.hex;\
avr-size --mcu=attiny45 --format=avr hello.mic.45.out
