Hi,
I have been reading as much as I can over the last few days to try and decide where to start, but I am still confused. I have a BS2 and a BX-24 from a few years back. I am starting on a new project that requires more I/O's than either of those. So I was looking at the Cubloc controllers, but have decided I would rather learn more about microcontrollers by building my own and learning assembly to program it. So where to start, I was looking at the Atmega series, but after finding this site have been readin all about PIC's. I am going to need some pretty complex code and will also need a lot of memory to store variables, I would like to have at least 64K for the program and probably the same amount to store variables. Can someone suggest a chip that will suit and is going to have plenty of tutorials and support around for it? This is a long term project, so I really do want to learn from the ground up, but I would like to start with a chip that will suit my final project. Thanks in advance.
