/diy/ - Do It Yourself

If you have to ask, you shouldn't be working with the mains.

Having bought both mixed bags and what I actually needed: buy what you need from Digikey.

The instruction reference is useful, but you're going to want to learn the basics of working with assembly first. Those things are (unsurprisingly) meant for reference, not learning.

Sure they can. Not all uCs are 8-bit.

Microcontrollers have been cheap enough to stick into everything for years though?

Electronic engineering is for technicians, electrical is for engineers.

You'd be better off participating in existing tool libraries or hacker spaces than trying to organize one on 4chan.

Did you want a 1650 uF cap?

Again: don't buy it until you need it. You'll rarely need it for simple projects, so wait until you have a project complex enough to justify the cost.

Do you really want to be working with this interface?

I wouldn't bother buying a scope until you know you'll actually need it.

If you do end up needing one, take a look at the Rigol DS1052E, or hunt around for electronics surplus as others suggested if possible.

Looks like a double-pole double-throw switch. Can you post the wiring diagram?

Whatever your equivalent of Radioshack is will carry 22-gauge hookup wire.

If you're having trouble implementing stuff using the reference manual, look for an app note instead.

Visually, it's pretty obvious when one has melted/blown.

This, plus keeping your tips in decent shape.

Back from work if anyone has any more questions.

They run design competitions at some universities and give them out to people who participate.

Software Engineering maybe, CS is applied math.

I'll pimp Digilent for their dev kits, as they're pretty cheap and they've given me two for free.

Its going to be a pre-req for all engineering. Just avoid E&M if you can.

>>11606
Up to you.

>>11617
I do not. I can't imagine they'd be that much more difficult than other 32-bit chips.
