Hi All,
As I am planning to start with MCU practice, I see there are 8-bit (8051) and 32-bit (ARM) MCUs. There are numerous others to examine. What do you recommend me on this?
- Should 8-bit be considered outdated, and I should proceed ahead with 32-bit ones directly? Why would they be "outdated"? - Or do they have equal preferences, and I should consider having knowledge for both? Have you considered that there are reasons why both are in common use? - Any further ideas as to what is best for what? There are considerations such as size, price, complexity, availability and cost of development hardware and software, which apply both to hardware and to firmwaredevelopment. As the 32-bitters are being developed into the embedded market, the distinctions are becoming more subtle, but you should be thoroughly aware of the subtleties before making a selection. And whatever you suggest me (which may be 32-bit only or both 8-bit & 32-bit), I will be starting by ordering a development kit (kind of self-learning) for each architectures. Is this approach correct?
You may relate my questions with my requirement. My requirement is like creating things closer to robot, but things that can be automatically controlled through internet or RC. Please let me know on this. Your insights would be very helpful to me. Thanks. You've presented absolutely no requirements. You can't make an appropriate choice without them. Start with the requirements. Then, after you've broken the requirements down into their most basic elements, you can make a rational decision as to what will best serve your needs. RE |
