I am currently trying to come up with some interesting ideas for my final project in Intro to Microcomputers. The project is pretty much open ended just providing that you use most of what we have learned in class. Two things I am looking at, even though I am not sure what exactly I plan to do with them, are my wii nunchuk and servo motors. I have seen nunchuk/servo projects before using arduino, but with all of the libraries available on that platform the task seems much more manageable. Programing the HC11 is essentially like starting with a blank piece of paper.
I am currently trying to decide if I will be able to make my nunchuk work with the HC11 or not. Unfortunately the chip does not natively support the I2c protocol that the nunchuk uses. I have found a chip that essentially allows a processor to communicate with I2C devices using SPI, but it is in a really tiny package and my soldering is probably not up to it. We will see.
On the other front, the servo research is going much better. I will post my progress on this soon.
