Microcontrollers


This page is specifically made to discuss everything on microcontroller programming...using C or asm language...
all type of architectures will be discussed here...i have a bit of an experience in PIC and Atmel processors, (an innci winnci bit of experience)...so i might be a bit inclined to them...Anybody can comment and start up a discussion or ask a question for anyone to answer....

  1. can anyone tell me which architecture is the best to start up with..i am kindda new to all this micro controller stuff?
    please respond?

  2. There are basically two types of architecture: the Reduced Instruction Set Computers (RISC) and the complex Instruction Set Computers (CISC). The RISC is faster than the CISC because they execute small and highly specialized tasks required by the application using them.
    A well designed RISC processor has a small set of instruction and therefore its instruction set is very easy to memorize, the CISC on the other hand does not require you to be intimately familiar with the processor architecture...
    Basically, i would recommend the CISC architecture for beginners, something from the Atmel family of microprocessors( the earlier processors) just to get your hands wet before you go into the more complex stuffs...
