Logo Chip

The logo chip has proven to be a valueable tool in this class. The micro controller seems to give us great flexibility in dealing with inputs and outputs.

Here is a valueable link to get you going, just cut and paste:

As an interesting side note, this microcontroller and others can give almost limitless control over electronic projects. Some disigns would be near impossible if it was implimented with digital or combinational logic, but this gives us the power to make it happen. With the use of a solderless breadboard and a few assorted electronic parts allow us to write code directly crom the computer an download it to the controller. We can also use it to read values from the chip and do diagnostics
