ok, i'll make this quick, i have no idea were to get started in
microcontrollers. To put it bluntly, i don't even have a basic
understanding of electronics. I've read a couple beginner's books but i
don't know more than very simple digital stuff, although i know a good
deal about simple analog stuff. I was thinking that maybe i could get a
stamp to start out on, since they seem more user-friendly than PICs,
since i actually had some trouble programming pascal, so if i have
trouble in pascal, then i know i'll have trouble writing a program in
ASM or hex, or binary, or whatever. I like basic and i like how stamps
are set up, they look like they have a good introduction to it, but it
seems kinda pricey, that is why i am thinking about pics, since i know
all the professionals use them, and they're much more powerful than
stamps, but the complexedy of them turns me off. I've tried several
newsgroups about this and none of them can give me a straight answer
about what i should try, so can you?
This is my first day on this group so sorry if something like this is in
an faq or something, ps where's the faq
