Finally... Progress!



After spending many days in the DT lab trying to figure out how to work Shift Registers and ADC chips, I finally managed to understand how they work.

First, I connected a round flex cable to the ADC in order to convert the analog signal to a digital one, so that the BS2 could understand it. Once I managed to do this successfully, I connected the shift register into the BS2. I programmed the BS2 so that depending on where the flex cable is pressed (from 0 to 255), 4 different LEDs would light up.



All I need to do now is replace the flex cable with a joystick, figure out how to make it work, make a bigger LED array, control the flow of lighting LEDs with the joystick, and do some cool design.

sigh.
