Today we started learning how to program our 68HC11 Evaluation Board (EVB), from Wytec.  That involved sharpening our knowledge of binary, learning hexadecimal, and an introduction to the C programming language.  We compiled a simple program in C which counted in binary, downloaded it to the EVB, and watched it illuminate a bunch of LEDs as it counted to 255.  Much more fun than it sounds, trust me. :-)

And we took our first picture of the "finished" desk.  Then had some fun with Photoshop, in proper Steampunk style. :-)
