 		 #184644 - Unless you have specific interest in vintage electronics ...
Responding to: ???'s previous message
... forget about it!

If, out of historical interest, you do want to eventually use this museum piece, then I think it would really be better to spend time learning about microcontrollers and digital electronics first.
You will certainly need these skills to be able to make use of this chip - assuming that it actually works at all...

I would suggest that you start with one of the modern development kits from, say, Silicon Labs - which give you complete, ready-to-go hardware and specific software support.

These can be programmed with a simple USB connection to your PC (some others via RS232).

How to write programs to internal memory with RS232???            01/01/70 00:00      
   What processor            01/01/70 00:00      
      And the winner is...            01/01/70 00:00      
         fuggetabutit            01/01/70 00:00      
            Hmmmmmm            01/01/70 00:00      
               sure there is            01/01/70 00:00      
               Costly failure            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Well, the UV thing confuses me...            01/01/70 00:00      
                     well, then ....            01/01/70 00:00      
                     OTP or mask-programmed            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Isn't that a clue?            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Wrong! It won't work with THIS part!            01/01/70 00:00      
                     8032            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Actually ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                           What situation would that be?            01/01/70 00:00      
                              I think you're confusing two different parts.            01/01/70 00:00      
                           There's the thing!            01/01/70 00:00      
                              It all depends on what you mean by experienced.            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 RE: It all depends on what you mean by, "experienced"            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    "Level" is such a relative term            01/01/70 00:00      
                              That's the reason            01/01/70 00:00      
                        8032?            01/01/70 00:00      
                           Yes - but is it worth it?            01/01/70 00:00      
                           It's a long, circuitous path ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                     I have an external UV EPROM            01/01/70 00:00      
                        If you don't know that, ...            01/01/70 00:00      
         Unless you have specific interest in vintage electronics ...            01/01/70 00:00      
            So...I've made a decision..sorta            01/01/70 00:00      
               One step at a time            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Any specific one though?            01/01/70 00:00      
                     This one?            01/01/70 00:00      
         Not this one!            01/01/70 00:00      
            Hmmm, a goal?            01/01/70 00:00      
               Wrong road!            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Regarding knowledge of electronics.            01/01/70 00:00

                     It might, in fact, be a good thing to go back farther            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Interesting            01/01/70 00:00      
                           You need to know much more about two things ...            01/01/70 00:00

                              Well, this is not the PIC forum ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 I was just saying...            01/01/70 00:00      
                              'found'stuff            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 I have to agree, conditionally            01/01/70 00:00      
                           learning about microcontrollers            01/01/70 00:00      
                              Arduino is a very good choice if not going 8051 route            01/01/70 00:00

                           Still easier to learn to program before bringing up first hw            01/01/70 00:00      
                              I'm not so sure ... maybe we'll just have to disagree            01/01/70 00:00      
               If you're really serious about this ...            01/01/70 00:00
