Part of my Halloween costume requires an micro controller to display a pattern on a led light strip. The light strip and the Arduino Uno micro controller I got to control it arrived today. In the span of about an hour I was able to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Borrow a USB A to B cable from my room mate as apparently I don’t own one.<\/li>\n
  2. Find and follow this guide to working Arduino on Gentoo<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Install 16GB more ram while I was rebooting after making the kernel changes required in that guide, for a total of 23.50 Gigabytes of ram on the development system, which is also brand new.<\/li>\n
  4. Build the circuit for the basic blink code<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. Build and upload the basic blink code, which did require two totally hacky symbolic links before it would work.<\/li>\n
  6. Realize that the uno includes an led on the board so I didn’t need to build the circuit and realize that it came pre-loaded with the basic blink code so that I can’t actually tell if I did anything yet.<\/li>\n
  7. Change the blink code to use port 12 and be faster to prove I’m actually in control.<\/li>\n
  8. Success!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Tomorrow or this weekend I hope to learn to how to talk to the led strip. Then I need to go get a fez of some kind. Oh and a Halloween party to attend in the costume, that would be a good thing to find as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
