CYBERHEART, ATtiny10 based implementation of a 1-dimensional cellular automaton

This is a model of an elementary cellular automaton in the space of a one-dimensional compact manifold evolving by the rule 30 with a random initial state.
Visual and sound indication corresponds to the birth of adjacent zeros sequence of maximum length (lying in the base of generated triangles, see Evolution Sample below).

Compile and flash

Compiled and tested on AVR ATtiny10, using bitbang programmer based on FT232R

./make
./flash

Testing

to activate Debug Mode please uncomment "#define UART" line

stty 9600 -F /dev/ttyUSB0
cat /dev/ttyUSB0

Troubleshooting

if avrdude not verifying the code, connect 5v power supply (instead of 3.3v)

Most probably modern version of avrdude would work with FTDI programmer out of the box, but just in case...
