I recommend to study the 8051 family, it is very easy to understand the basics, when you finish try to study 8 bits PICs or AVRs, and when you finish study ARM7.

Here is a very useful programmer for 89s51:

You must make decision,
how family of micro you will use,
to start maybe the best choise for you is PIC family,
for example 16f84 or 16f877,
visit
www.microe.com
many info good to start

first you decide which microcontroller you want to study. But go for an 8 bit microcontroller in the beginning. So try to find which one is suitable and if your friends know some 8 bit microcontroller take help from him. If you are interested in AVR then you can use the following link

I started with 8051 and using asm language. Then I try with PIC and c compiler, now, I know many kind of microcontroller.

First look at your local supplier what kind of µC is most available. Than make a decision based upon that.

Start with 8bit family and than move on to higher families. This is probably the est advice I can give to you Wink

If you select the PIC family, the link listed below is an excellent starting place. I have used two of their books, and was very happy. I would recommend starting off in assembly, to obtain a better understanding of the microcontrollers, and then move on to C if you like. Hope this helps.

study 8051 family 1st then study pic,use c language and assembley language tp program it,just download the datasheet from google to refer.

Dear friend

You can start with:

"8051 Microcontroller and Embedded Systems (2nd Edition)"
Author : Muhammad Ali Mazidi, Janice Gillispie Mazidi, Rolin McKinlay

This book uses a step-by-step approach to teach the fundamentals of assembly language programming and interfacing of the 8051 microcontroller. It uses many examples to clarify concepts. Simple, concise examples are utilized to show what action each instruction performs, then a sample is provided to show its application.

This text provides a comprehensive understanding of the internal organization of the 8051 registers and resources in a way that sheds the student’s fear of assembly language. Whether students become designers of stand-alone systems or complex embedded systems, they will find this text a useful resource.

Best regards. Very Happy

for fist time user

I suggest u to used MicroC and used PIC16877A or PIC18F452 to start learn

its easy

hi...

If you have a basic idea about microprocessor or micro controller like 8051, it is very easy to start with PIC series of micro controllers because microchip will provide very good documentation. he made easy to learn complex things also. if you visit his website you will get different learning aids. you can starts with basic type 8 bit MCU PIC16F877a.

www.microchip.com

all the best.... Idea

Go to your local electronics store, then ask them what micros do they have on their stock.

Post them here.

Then we will give you the pros and cons of each micro you have posted.

It will be useless to advise you of this and that micro if it is not available in your place locally.

First of all decide on which family of MCUs u like to study. Then u can ask for the relevant help in that direction.

study 8051 basics right from the start and then use some simulation softwares for better understanding of pics

PIC microntroller has alot of examples,
and good datasheet documentation.

Read the datasheet, and copy examples from website.
Start with a simple hands on project, you will learn a lot.

20 Jan 2008 16:10 How to start study microcotroller because I want to study it

for me, i choose 8051 microcontroller to study.
According to my guide line person, he teached me,

1 basic digital couse (including combinational and sequential logic and state machine design ending with basic of PROM to PLD.)

2.8085 course including progrmming model achitecture and intefacing with it peripherals based on three bus architecture. The reference book is
Digital Electronic Computer by Malvino

3.Finally 8051 course with Keil software and ISIS simulation software to practice before implementing real projects

These three steps are the teaching guide of my learnign curve to 80cC51.

the only solution is start with Atmel 89c2051+get Mazidi's bood the best one and project given with example in this bood try to make them soon you will be experienced in using mirocontroller.

Hi.

First of all, as others said before, search for your local store(online shop) what kind of microcontrollers are available. It's very important to be easy to buy.( Consider that, beeing a begginer, you may "burn" 1 or 2 chips, and if you can't easily&quicly buy a new one, you may loose your enthusiasm...)

If PIC is available for you, start with PIC16F887.
AVR is also a good choice, but, for example, in my Country there is no distributor and therefore, it's quite difficult to find an Atmel at a reasonable price for hobbyst.

Good luck!

You can start reading the books of related topics.
Try to find from the net. This is very useful sources.

I'd say start with dsPIC30F series PICs. Build a JDM2 programmer for $2, and program the device with an ingenia bootloader. From that point, you can upload your programs over a serial connection such as a USB->UART converter module (loads of them available around). The same module can be used to recieve debug information from the chip when creating programs.

For compiler, use MPLAB. U can get the C30 student version, fully featured for 2 months. The programming is pretty much ANSI C, and documentation is good. The reason I suggest this chip is it requires very few external components, it is a 5V microcontroller easy to power from USB without any external supply or regulator, it is easy to get started with, and it has muscle.

Best regards

Beginners should avoid the dsPIC series of PICs, they are very complex 16 bit microcontrollers and not aimed at someone just starting out with PICs.
Try a 16F or 18F series PIC, the popular 40pin are 16F877A (replaced with 16F887) or the 18F4620. The 18F have C18 SE (free) and Swordfish BASIC SE (free) of course MPLAB and MPASM are free for all PICs.
Plus get a decent programmer or better yet one with a debugger as it's a excellent tool for anyone programming PICs.
PS the JDM programmers are pretty sporadic.

sure - the dsPICs are pretty powerful, but are they complex? They have much more configuration options, because they have a lot more peripherals. but apart from that - IMHO - they are not so very very much more complicated than PIC16.

complex chip is a TMS [;
