I am a starter in microcontroller programming. I understand programming but first I am starting with Keil uVision3-software and Evaluation board MCB-STR9. Is there any user guide or tutorial which could help me to start and program and see results on board. I could not find online. Can someone help me please?... Thanks...
Crafting own development board is a good idea, but a long process - designing the schematic, checking net lists, designing the layouts, soldering components on PCB, troubleshooting the board, etc - consuming almost 6-8weeks. also the time period between giving the layout to the pcb designer and getting the pcb (soldered/bare circuit board) is wasted as nothing can be done in that time but just wait for the pcb to arrive. (This is process when designing a new board, YOURSELF - i dont find much adventure here) Buy a development board if you want to avoid these steps.
'scuse me, but did you actually follow at the link I gave? Get a piece of breadboard, insert components, apply power. job done. It takes nearer six minutes rather than six weeks.
I had this bread-boarding method of working with things, but could not get long way as its reliability is doubtful. There are times when circuit dont work, after taking pain in debugging the whole circuit, you find that the circuit wasnt working just because of loosening of components. But I agree that the idea is good for getting started. :)
And stop involving Middle names. Idiot!! (sic)
