Responding to: ???'s previous message
... to the time before microcontrollers, and focus on microprocessors, e.g. MC6800, 8080, Z80, etc, so that it becomes apparent how the stuff that's been integrated in microcontrollers actually works. Learn answers to

What is a diode? Why would I need one?

What is a transistor? Why would I want one?

What is a resistor? Why would I want to use one?

What is a capacitor? Why would I need one?

What is a voltage regulator? Why is it necessary?

What is a bypass capacitor? Why is it necessary?

What is an oscillator? Why is it necessary?

What is a UART?

What is Read-Only memory? Why is it necessary?

What is Read/Write memory? How do they differ.

What is Asyncronous data communication?

What is Synchronous data communication?

and many more ... and particularly the heaps of questions relating to coding, coding style, debugging, verifying code, system testing, etc.

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

                  When throwing out bathwater, take care to retain baby...            01/01/70 00:00      
                     out of sheer nostalgia            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      
                  About other processors            01/01/70 00:00      
                     The prices were on the page!            01/01/70 00:00

                              Yes            01/01/70 00:00      
                              Yes            01/01/70 00:00      
               Maybe a heretic idea...            01/01/70 00:00      
                  There's a problem with these ...            01/01/70 00:00

                           I have six other microprocessors that i found yesterday            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

                        in for a penny, in for a pound ...            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      
                  tools and such            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Well ... maybe your Dad can fill you in on some details            01/01/70 00:00
