Board Migration

After having much fun with the PIC32 Starter Kit, I am currently moving on to the real boards. As expected, the previous USB code that worked on the starter kit no longer work properly on the real boards. Got the 2 LEDs to work on the boards and hence started Read more…

Front End

I started this week by working on the bugs that I overlooked and it took me 2 days to solve all the bugs. After that I straight away working on the other project with another intern. We start working on the authentication part first which took us quite a while Read more…

Admin-On-Rest

This week started off with me making a terrible mistake. Dr. Shawn asked me to restructure the code as we need to start pushing any work related to front-end to the remote repository. I was instructed to download the zip file from admin-on-rest, unzip the file and push the whole Read more…

Tying up C++ Drivers

Last week I successfully completed the Gpio and Spi driver heavily inspired by a third-party API so that there is consistency in the way the code is written and how it is called. Referring to the latter, I’ve alse included a T3 namespace so that functions are now called via Read more…

New Project

This week I have fixed the last bug. I thought I have check and fix all the bugs but when Dr Shawn checked my works he said that there still a few bugs that he found in the project. I have to recheck and fix the bugs. It is my Read more…

Having fun with PIC32

Upon receiving the board, I started by getting the typical Hello World program to work (i.e. getting LEDs to light up). Of the 2 methods that can be used to toggle a pin which are 1. Directly writing values to TRISDX and RDX and 2. Using the PLIB Library which Read more…

Moving on to Front-End integration

First of all, I’m glad that the days of digging into POCO library and locating the code segment which removes elements upon exipration didn’t go wasted. I managed to get the caching expiration mechasmin done without any error despite having run into several problems before. For example, the actual code Read more…

The end of a journey

After working with the project for 9 weeks, I am definitely more confident and productive than I was before. One of my task for this week is to write a REST api for the GNU debugger. I am familiar with the structure of a REST api because I have beenĀ  Read more…

Implementing an API

Based on my working code which was verified via the simulator, I started the week by implementing the API for the GPIO driver. Prior to this internship I have only used standard libraries on C & C++ and this would be the first time I’m implementing an API. Initially I Read more…
