#148922 - startup project advise Responding to: ???'s previous message |
If I can part with some advice...
1. Use an existing development kit that uses the same OR similar micro to the one you are developing with. 2. Using the development kit Write some code.... (get some LED's blinking) and get some confidence with the processor taking to the hardware first. (on a known working hardware platform). 2. Using the development kit.... Add the LTC1098 and other hardware as a daughter board. Write some code at get the rest of your hardware working. 3. Then move on to completing your hardware prototype as a complete standalone PCB. ****** If you are not experienced in "from scratch design".... then there will be many hurdles in completing your project. Unless incremental steps are taken... ***** <=== Develop in incremental stages===> Then you can know what change caused a problem and back track. If you build the hardware and software from scratch... and you hit a major problem...... it may be difficult to determine if the hardware or software is the cause! At least with a development kit .... you are starting with a known... working hardware platform. Just my 2 cents worth. Joe |
