Hi
Just joined the forum and spent some time browsing the topics etc.
However 99% has just gone flying over my head, so I hope you will bear with me if I am asking questions that have been asked zillions of times before!!
Firstly I suppose I should outline the project I want to build and then questions on what I need:
I want to make a minimum 90+ step controller with viable times between the steps of between .1 secs and 90secs. programmed ia USB. I also need to step it manually via a button and stop and restart it once programmed.
I have no idea what PIC to use or how to even start the project?
Can someone recommend a Programmers Kit suitable for a complete novice to learn on but would be able to do the above project once I've learned the basics.
Used to be able to do simple programming in Basic and C about 25 years ago but old age has dimmed my memories!!!
if someone can point me in the right direction I would be grateful.....
