I’ve finally finished my lighting controller and am quite happy with the results. During this process, I learned quite a few things about how I should design and program any new projects or ideas that I might have in the future. I have also planned out an improved version of this device too if I ever want or need to rebuild this. Most of the issues I had were related to board design and have been manually rerouted and fixed in my theoretical next version. In addition to this, since I have acquired a new programmer during the development of this device, I have also somewhat decided to switch my interfacing method from the usual and default SPI to JTAG to incorporate more robust programming and debugging feature sets. Unless the microcontroller I’m using doesn’t have JTAG capabilities, then this will be my last SPI-enabled device.
