    Hello, I am new to the site though I've been aware of it for a while. I found it through watching Ben Heck's web show.

     

    I'm currently an undergrad student in electrical engineering, although I'm 41 years old. I'm "changing careers". My previous life involved being a bench tech in various computer stores or working as a low grade IT flunky. I decided to go to college finally and opted to pursue something I've always loved but never really understood very well: electronics and electricity. I really like the idea of being able to fix things or build interesting projects, especially with microcontrollers. Looking forward to learning loads!

    Hi Michael,

     

    Welcome to the Community!

     

    A great little thing to learn about Microcontrollers is the Cypress Pioneer Kit it allows you to use Cypress's software (that is very easy to use) or you can program it in C as well.

     

    Have a Great Day!

    Jason G.

    Hi Jay,

     

    I didn't mean to leave anyone out so thanks for bring it up. The Arduino is a very good introductory platform to. The Cypress board is just fresh on my mind because I just used it. In the software that Cypress has to program it. You can place chip(or what every your using) layouts in the creator and draw your connections and program it to the board. It reminded me so much of the Altera board that I had in school.

     

    Thanks for your help!

    Jason G.
