A final circuit can be used to reset the processor – this is basically making it start at the beginning of the program. This is done with a pin that is set to 0 to reset, left at 5 volts to let the processor run. You can leave out the pushbutton if you do not want to use the reset, but keep the resistor in the circuit or the processor might reset when you least expect it. | A final circuit can be used to reset the processor – this is basically making it start at the beginning of the program.

For software we will focus on the C language and in particular on a “lite” and free version from Source Boost. Before beginning this section it would be a good idea to download and install the BoostC compiler. You can find the download page at: http://www.sourceboost.com/Products/BoostC/Download.html A complete list of what you need to both write and run the program is in an appendix at the end of this document. | For software we will focus on the C language and in particular on a “lite” and free version from Source Boost.
