A project for Data Communications by Jason Mendoza during the fall 2013 semester.

This project was begun in late September and is anticipated to take about a week.

The point of this project is to get the raspberry pi to interact with a peripheral

In order to successfully accomplish/perform this project, the listed resources/experiences need to be consulted/achieved:

• https://sites.google.com/site/semilleroadt/raspberry-pi-tutorials/gpio
• A working knowledge of the the UNIX CLI
• Functioning pi, all set up, spiffy and ready to go
• LEDS connected to afore mentioned PI with appropriate resistors and pin assignments

There is a plethora of peripherals mostly using the USB standard currently. Back in the day the connections were much more direct, signals were just sent and the only real standard was the plug size…and there were many. So the idea is to go back to simpler days and make some base experimentation with sending a signal, the base requisite for communication. This is the first of a few forthcoming projects of the same vein.

Seriously, I have no idea what to expect. This is a system I have never ever worked with before and am excited to try it out. I have no idea how low of a level you can access via the command line so iono meng, skepticism is very high in Whosvilles.

State and justify the attributes you'd like to receive upon successful approval and completion of this project.

• Salience: I want to be able to play with things at a really low lever. Command line invocation would be cray Cray sweet and have outlets usually reserved for micro controllers.
• Warm up: Semester just started- might be a good idea ease into things and re-acclimate to the magnificent lair environment.

Wish I had more to write but I plan on following the given instructions to the tee. This is a fairly straight forward project which can only mean that everything is going to fall apart from the get go.

Did it per instructions. is it allowed to straight copy someone else's code? I'll change it if need be. Had to make sure the pins were cleared.

Comments/thoughts generated through performing the project, observations made, analysis rendered, conclusions wrought. What did you learn from doing this project?
