New to programming.

Hi guys, I'm completely new to MCU programming and I wondered if anyone could give me a hand in choosing the best make, software ect to learn from.

Thanks

remember this the more u do research , the more u learn for the time being u dont have to be concerned .. take a look at 50$ tutorial and download the code and header files

the admin has really made easy for beginners like u to write code for the microcontrollers so try learning from the 50$ robot and also the tutorials

I have read the tutorials, I was just seeing if I could collect some more info.

[superchiku]

well ya its something u learn by practice ..

my advice is try doing the 50$ project its cool and ull learn a lot

Get a book that specifically teaches MCU programming. It would be a simple google search for "C programming robot book"

[superchiku]

i guess finding such a book will be hard as all mcu's have a different way of coding

ill suggest try downloading the datasheet of the mcu and then try learning abt the registers used in the mcu and then start manupulating them to get desired result

C is C no matter where you go.

It all depends on the compiler, you have to specify what MCU to build for.

You can compile for windows, unix, mac, atmegas, whatever...just need to find the right compiler

[superchiku]

yes but u need to know how to use the registers of specific mmicrocontrollers otherwise ull never be able to manupulate them

see our admin has got soln. for evrything

i always think its better for a true beginner to start with assembly as it make you understand hardware
,dont waste much time in assembly but you should know it,
then move to a highlevel language
then learn higher level ones

[superchiku]

why only assembly

u can learn GW Basic as a beginner
