Hello All,
I am new to the group, and wanted to start some micro programming. I am
a programmer by trade, but my work is mainly in business programming
java, ABAP, and coldfusion, but have been wanting to get into robotics
for some time. I run nothing but linux at home so that is what brought
me here. Anyway my plan is to take some circuit board intro classes at
a community college but wanted to get started on programming the chips
before the class. It's been a while for me since assembly. I have
decided on the PIC it seems pretty popular from my readings. I was
wondering if someone here could provide me with a list of hardware i can
buy to get started using linux. I noticed a lot of people build their
own programmer, but I am not at that stage yet. I have tried to look
for the Dontronics DT-001 programmer, does anyone know where I can buy
that, and what else do I need to get started? I have downloaded gputils,
c2c compiler, picprg. I am willing to start with any suggestions you
might have.
Thanks in advance,
Joseph Greenawalt
