Matching s / w programming with h / w programming

Question

I have been doing programming in s / w format for many years. Over the years, I was also interested in h / w programming (circuits + robotics + etc.).

Please advice on where I can start h / w programming. my goal is to combine both s / w and h / w to work together.

Answer 1

For a hobyists approach or to start from scratch, I suggest a Picaxe chip. They are cheap ($ 4), very simple and very easy to program. The simplest of these is an 8-pin IC, using a 5 V DC power supply, programmed using a serial cable and free software, and stores about 40 lines of code. (Yes, very simple, but funny. And they get bigger, that is: 16-pin, 40-pin.)

Picaxe gives you a basic introduction to PIC, but it is a significant step above Lego Mindstorms: P However, it is much slower to execute commands than the standard PIC (about 1 kHz versus 1 MHz, I think), but it will do some things (e.g. serial communication and LCD control) for you.
