      Assignment 10: Embedded Programming

      Follow the steps below to complete your assignment.

      • Compare the performance and development workflows for other architectures. You should try to program two different microcontroller boards.
      • Read the datasheet for your microcontroller and identify information that could be useful for your project.
      • Use your programmer to program your board to do something.
      • Describe the programming process with text and images.
      • Document the process on your documentation page.
      • Include source files of the code you wrote.
      • Add a hero video of your board working.
      • Submit a link to your assignment page here.

      Read more about the assignment on the Fab Academy Assessment Guide page.

      This assignment will be graded in the scale from 0 - 5.
