Re: microcontroller kit?
I suppose you are right, the Launchpad should be suitable for a serious beginner.
I did not have a Launchpad but I used an MSP before and it was quite interesting.
But DIP 20 pins seems too limited.
In fact, I would like to sugest the STM8S-Discovery (with STM8S105)...
1. For PIC18F4550, some PORTB pins are configured as analogue inputs on reset.
2. LATB should be used for output instead of PORTB, especially from Hardware point of view.
3. It is better to program the chip and run it in standalone mode, without attaching it to an emulator/debugger etc.
May I suggest STM8S105 ?
You can start with its very low-cost kit: STM8S-Discovery, less than US$10.
