As a student being forced to learn the LPC21xx microcontrollers as part of my degree, I have found getting information and help extremely poor.
Everything points you in the direction of the data sheet/ user manual, but the reason Im looking for help else where is because Im not getting what I need from the manual. How backwards is that!
Also when you post a thread on this site no one gets back to you. Does anyone actually run the site? and does anyone actually reply to technical questions that actually may help others at a later time? I think not. I think Ive got a better chance of recieving a reply from this rant!
I think ARM and Keil should be ashamed and take a leaf out of Microchips book, as the help avaialable for the many devices they supply is vast!
Rant over
if you have the skills to help others
there has been many posts where someone had the 'skills' but not the time. If the answer to a post requires work most do not have the luxury of taking time away from the time they are paid for. Thus, most answers anyone get from (I guess) anyone are those where all it took to answer was to type the answer.

then of course there are a [very] few who appear to have plenty of time, make many posts, but really know nothing apart from how to search using Google.
christian and Mike, thanks.
