Modified Hello Echo – Part III: Working & Completed Modified Hello Echo + Button + FTDI

Fab Academy Embedded Programming Assignment:

1. add (at least) a button to the serial echo hello-world board
2. modify the serial echo assembly program to respond to the button

I modified the hello serial echo board (my modified echo board version2 – see previous posts) to respond to a button and added an FTDI header so I could use it as a substitute for the internet 0 serial board. (I have a Mac and therefore no serial port).

The behavior is that the LED is always on – but when the button is pressed, it turns off.

Shawn and I modified Elliot’s reprogramming the echo board code.

Here is the code:

; blink LED when button is pressed

.device attiny44
.org 0
cbi DDRA, 1
sbi DDRB, 2
loop:
	sbic PINA,1
   	sbi PORTB, 2
 	sbis PINA,1
  	cbi PORTB, 2
rjmp loop

Here is How to Get the Board Running:

I use an usbtiny programmer.

Copy the above code into a text file and save it with YourFileName and .asm extension.
Compile it using gavrasm:

gavrasm YourFileName.asm

Compiling the file will create a .hex file.

First – set the fuses on your board:

avrdude -p t44 -c usbtiny -U lfuse:w:0x7E:m

Second – flash the attiny44 with the program code you just compiled:

avrdude -p t44 -c usbtiny -U flash:w:YourFileName.hex
