The last few weeks, I had a lot of troubles with my 3D printer, and I left my C++ course. The reasons: I don’t have enough experience with the 3D printer, and I made some mistakes that affected its functionality. For example, the nozzle became useless after the filament was affected by humidity and temperature. I also had troubles with the M4V6 Hotend Kit and damaged the PTFE tube when I tried to remove it. Additionally, there was a bad calibration of the Printer Hotbed. After ordering a packet of nozzles, replacing the hotbed with a glass panel, and recalibrating the machine, the printer is working again.

I was thinking of doing a project with an STM32F microcontroller. However, I had an ATMEGA328p that I hadn’t used, along with wires, a breadboard, ASP programer and a lot of new components I bought years ago. My injured pride from never developing with AVR microcontrollers in a Linux environment also weighed on my mind.
This situation bothered me, so I decided to use it as therapy and create a basic manual for developing with 8-bit microcontrollers using Linux.
Well, the results will be published on this site.

Finally, I was able to build a project and flash an ATMEGA328p with avrdude. It is a simple sequence to turn on and off the components in an RGB LED using a simple state machine implemented with a structure. I will explain it in a post. I believe it’s a good introduction to embedded software development using free tools.
The challenge was the hardware; I am very out of practice with it.

X - Files is a very good show finally I am watching the season 10 and 11 I don’t believe that I lost the interest in that things!
