Microcontroller thread
What are you working on goyim?
Beginners welcome, unload all those questions and doubts
It's actually that very question which keeps me from diving into them. What the fuck am I going to do with it? I'm not the sort of person who gets stuff just to have it. It would have to add value to something I already do and I'm not particularly creative.

Can you recommend any guides for getting into this?

Working on learning them. I can do assembly language, but I have very little understanding of basic electricity and electrical components. I have a bunch of raspberry pis, but they're mostly for low power servers and dumb terminals.
I wish I majored in Electrical Engineering instead.
Making a digital volume control, so far so good.

>Not using i2c for a led dislay
Are you serious anon?

Daily reminder tarduino is obsolete because the Atmel Xplained Mini comes with full atmel studio support and hardware debugging for 10 bucks
How do I make the ADC on this PIC32 work?
I don't know any C or assembly so I pretty much have no idea how to program it. Only experience I have is with a PIC16 and that used BASIC.
I basically don't know how to program anything.

Well you'll have to read some tutorials and documentation
Usually using an adc works like this: (assuming you aren't using interrupts or something)
> init the ADC before your main loop (flip some random bits)
> start conversion (more bit flipping)
> wait for conversion to finish by checking whatever flag is set when the ADC finishes in a loop
> read results from results register

Go learn C then. Programming microcontrollers is surprisingly easy.

I need some resources then because I'm not really getting the documentation from Microchip or the example code they provide.
anyone know if msp430g2 dev on linux is painless? i wanna graduate from an arduino.

Make a robot that cleans your ass. It doesn't have to make sense.
just thinking how hard it would be to use arduinos in emergency power systems
arduino voltage relay alone would save $50
it would look like shit though
