Hi Everyone.
I hope this is right, starting a new thread that is. If not I'm reasonable sure I will learn the correct way to go about this.
First an apology for not participating for so long. I had some health problems, I hope the past tense is accurate but you never know. I was in and out of our local hospital so many times people started thinking I was one of the staff. Then there was/is the recovery.
I think I am on the road to health, 70 years old so, again, who knows?
Enough of that, I have a question or rather I am asking for some advice. I want to start learning about PIC. I have seen a lot on the Arduino? Spelling?? I think that's right although I have never heard it so have no idea of pronunciation. No matter, I read a lot, have read a lot researching this and others.
Can any of you comment or give me your opinion on rather this is the best to start with? You will have to keep in mind I am retired and trying to get by on Social Insecurity.
With that in mind I need something inexpensive but not junk. (Is there such an animal?) I would rather wait a month or two until I can save enough to get something I won't have to, or want to replace next month when I know enough to ask intelligent questions. That's why I said "Inexpensive", in lieu of cheap.
Thanks for helping and I am looking forward to your response and to participating here again.
