Dear list admins:

Are we ever going to get an effective way to respond directly to the poster
instead of the list as whole? I know what John was trying to do, and my
mail reader (mutt) wouldn't let me do it either.

Faisal,

You simply have to realize that while you can't learn everything at once, that
you must learn everything you need deeply by reading and testing. For example
you won't PWM or ADC in your first go, so don't worry about them at this time.

But you still need to print out and read the relevant sections of the datasheet
and the reference manual. Also the errata sheets are helpful.
