I can pick an LCD or OLED display out of my box of China gadgets and in literally 5 minutes have it doing something. I've come to quite like the Arduino too, I was not impressed for a long time, the software is fairly clunky but what finally sold me on it is a combination of the proliferation of insanely cheap clones and the massive collection of libraries floating around that make interfacing to all manner of random poorly documented Chinese widgets absurdly easy. I'm still using 8 bit AVRs since they're the devil I know, but ARM such as the popular STM32 seems to be the future. Once you learn C it hardly matters what hardware you use although the quality of the toolchain does vary widely. These days C is the universal language supported by every microcontroller on the market, or C++(ish) used by the Arduino. I found what I think is a clone: I am not sure if I need the pickit 3. Maybe build some microprocessor controlled PLL for old radios I spent the week looking and reading here and elsewhere on line. I can see were learning this newer technology may be able to help me a bit in my business. And since my old Mod Mep-4 is Windows 3.1 based software and none of my current PC’s supports this, I am thinking about going with a pickit device. Well now I want to play around with this again. Later on I got into some smart card programming for entry doors and also AT90S2313 Atmel’s. These were also used in old Knitting mill PLC devises at a place I used to work at. Browning did not cover the window on the chips and after time UV light would erase them. These were used in the Browning Mark 4 CB radios for part of the PLL circuit. Years ago I used to program 27C128 chips. Perhaps there are other projects I could do with this. Hi All, I am looking to get back into programming projects.Mostly based around Ham and CB radio.
