Hello,
I'm relatively new to microcontrollers and I have read through the "Newcomers, please read! (PIC regarded) Upd. 0xC" but I don't think it completely answers my question.
I have written some C code I would like to run on a microcontroller for a prototype. It is pretty simple code (requires floats) and the microcontroller would only need to receive input from a digital scale, a single sensor, and a few input buttons. The microcontroller also needs to output to a small LCD.
The problem is that I'm not even sure what family of microcontrollers I should be looking into (68HC11, 68HC12, PIC, 8051, etc). Any recommendations for a first-time development kit?
My computer does not have a serial port, so a USB programmer would probably be required. Also, I can rewrite the code in Assembly if necessary, although I would prefer not to.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
