Hello!
I have several projects in mind that are well suited for microcontrollers. I'm a total n00b so I want to get some experts advice before I start.
A few of my "criteria":
- All the projects that I am considering will be portable, so they will be running from a battery.
- I will be wanting to interface some combination of USB, bluetooth, infrared, several buttons and eventually an LCD screen and possibly even a touch screen.
- I'll be developing on a Windows 7 based PC.
- I have done a fair amount of programming in 6502, z80 and 6809 assembly language. I don't know much about C++.
- I have not worked with microcontrollers, so have no preference to brand/type. I also do not have any equipment to program them as of yet.
With the above criteria in mind, is there any specific type/brand of microcontroller that I should be considering?
Is there any kind of learning kit that I might want to look into?
Any advice at all is welcome and appreciated!
Thanks!
