Help with microcontrollers.

Hello all.

I've recently got into doing small electronic work. Ive got some soldering experience and have done work with LEDS, resistors, capacitors, and transistors. Anyways, I would like to do a project with a microcontroller, a servo, sensor as well as some LEDS. However, there are so many different kinds of microcontrollers and i know basically nothing about them. I did some searching on the web and read some articles but its still clear as mud. Im hoping to keep things cheap and relatively simple as this is a simple project. any feedback is appreciated.

    If you want to do project based on Microcontroller then first of all you must have to read some basic about it and you can refer some books. even you will find the tutorial on internet for basic knowledge of Controller for that i suggest try to search detail about AT89C51 as this is the basic controller you can start from this..


    Please post your introduction in Introduction Zone. we want to know more about you.
    Have a Good time on CE.

    You can learn PIC Microcontroller #-Link-Snipped-#. I give many free code, from LED, Switch, LCD up to hard coding like GSM Modem, RFID Reader, RF Module. Then you can start easy project #-Link-Snipped-#.

    since u re a beginner go with 8051 projects.. u can find AT89C51 for cheap price and start building your own projects. although u'll need to get a programmer to be able to burn your codes.
    check Electronic Projects, Electrical Engineering Resources and Makers Articles for plenty of basic 8051 projects.

    You might also want to consider looking into some of the AVR microcontrollers. There is a free compiler for it that's really good and a lot of support. If you visit avrfreaks.net you'll find tons of tutorials on how to use it.
