Because a little RISC Assembly never hurt anyone.

“Working in groups of three, you are to manufacture a Microcontroller- based PCB interfacing circuit, develop software to enhance its interaction with a PC and contribute individual elements to a group report.”
After understanding the basic connections of the Microchip microcontroller we were using, we went about designing the PCB to allow the microcontroller to interface with a computer via serial and to control a 7 segment display. The PCB was then delivered to us blank and then we populated it with the components.
