Hey /g/ I want to learn some basic stuff about programming microcontrollers

bumperino

bumping for you anon, I don't deal with arduinos and shit but it's pretty interesting

grab an arduino uno, using the IDE is pretty straightforward and you can pop the microcontroller out so you don't need to use the whole arduino for a project. Once you've programmed it you can wire it into your project and buy another chip.

It's a pretty decent solution. I'm no expert but I believe if you want to program one naked it's a much bigger deal than just wiring the legs up to your pi.

go learn ansi c
buy like 10 atmega 328s (328p, 328pb, etc)
buy some generic electronics for autismos kit with wires and breadboards and leds or whatever
buy/make an avr isp or use a serial/parallel port
make the avrs do shit
arduinos are retarded

programming a 'naked' avr is easy, just go read atmel's pdfs on hardware design and the datasheets.
if you aren't prepared to do that, you shouldn't be trying to do electronics.

also, hold off on using raspberry pis for electronics (unless you make the avr programmer with one), you'll just feel impoverished when you move to an actual microcontroller and have to use something lower level than fucking python.

I would say that using RPI gives you more freedom if you are focused on fast results. For example, if you are using Arduino you will have to buy and code wifi shield if you want wireless connection.

If you want to build simple car with camera you can use RPI and set server + write app for android that will control car + stream video.

Pretty dope desu

I'd say follow a tutorial on the youtube.com maybe steal some books on the illegal torrent site and then read your ill gotten books for the knowledge they contain. Apply that knowledge to your relevant hardware. As you become more relaxed about this technology you may wish to go more advanced. Good luck.
