Just getting started? Download a RTOS and run it in a VM. Make some software for it and then you can do that then move to actual hardware.

You could start with either Raspberry Pi or Beaglebone Black, both support linux based systems and are very power efficient, cheap and lightweight. I have used both, and all i can say is: Raspberry is more like a computer with some digital general purpose pins, it works very well with cameras(pi-cam makes the framerate very high) and USB peripherals, but has no analog converters and very little GPIOs. The Beaglebone Black on the other hand has 96 GPIOs, more than you'll need for amateur learning, and has analog converters, take make it easier to create your own sensors, also it has asynchronous control of the GPIOs (something called PRU) that takes the workload away from the main processor on the board.
Both support C,C++, Python or whatever compiler/interpreter you can install on linux systems.
Good luck m8 :)

Go with Microchip's PIC you'll find a lot of information and projects, is better to program a chip and buying the resistors and shit to make it work than a development board like arduino, beagle bone, raspberry etc. if you want to go further start learning registers, multiplexing and memory access and management, most likely you will work with very limited resources so you must know your chip very well
The questions are, how far you do you want to go ?
If just a no serious hobby to control some lights or sensors go with arduino but again is uses an Atera micro ...

Did you post a flight controller because you want to get into contributing to FC firmware projects? Or is it just on the am image search?

i want to tinker with flight controller firmware, control devices through it etc.
