YESHHH!!! My circuit finally works =) After re-wiring my entire circuit board last night, it is finally working properly. And just in time for my demostration too =) Finally =)) Before that, my circuit keeps shorting and I burnt my microchips =( SHITT.

For the next part of the major project in making an interrupt button, I am seriously considering buying a multimeter, power supply and solder depump. Those 3 are the must have tools man.. If I had the multimeter and power supply earlier, I would have an easier time debugging. Plus, the amount of time spent on debugging would be lesser.



I'm really thankful to the people who helped me out. Especially Kenny for helping me debug my code, Peng Rend for giving me a brief run through of the entire code before demostration, Mervyn for lending me his multimeter, Govind for always being there =D

My circuit
I'm soooo glad that I used a decoder. The coding was much simpler thanks to the decoder =) See those resistors over there? It can actually be reduced from 14 to 2 resistors =p

 The wiring that was sooo troublesome. But it works =)


The dates it is supposed to display:

After 1 second of delay, the month will appear.
And finally, the year =)
 The tools I used:


And that's all for today.

Hmm...I wonder, should I work for a company dealing with hardware? Frankly speaking, I don't have much confidence in my hardware skills =( Not at all. I think I will die there if I ever get accepted into the company.

But it seems interesting. The new markets I will learn, how the company actually deals with such high tech stuff...

I hope, that more software companies will approach me though...
