programming assignment

[qwerty]

hey guys, dunno if this should go in homework help or programming but anyway..

 

our physics assignment is on programming, its BASIC language, we are using a program called PICAXE to create and program a integrated circuit chip thing.

 

im up to the stage now that ive done the programming- now is the assignment, need to talk about everything about IC and programing and this chip and this and that, everything involved in this simple programming and the chip and semi conductors and micro chips and that. Need a background information section on this kind of information

 

-semi conductors material --> and how its used to build microchips

-programming in general

-picaxe software

-LED's --> semiconductors and resistors

-integrated circuits

-anything else related to this simple task

 

 

 

my question is, does anyone out there have any knowledge about any of the following - or better send some good websites, i've looked a bit on wikipedia and its given some good stuff. Does anyone else know any good websites and links to information about this. It is only a high school assginment so not into that much detail but enough. Thanks in advance guys/girls heaps.

Could you explain agian what you mean by "need to talk about everything about IC and programing and this chip and this and that".

 

You need to know how integrated electronic chips are fabricated? I've never used this picaxe program however. It's hard to find a starting point on this if I don't know what you've been doing. It's really a vast subject in itself, and you can take 2-3 college courses just on IC technology with an additional 2-3 courses to build your foundations for the analysis of the technogy.
