 		 #157368 - Get something ready to do to start...
Responding to: ???'s previous message
For the first beginner I would suggest that you get the board and debug kit shown on this page:

SiLabs C8051F226 Development Kit with Prototype Area

For 69 US$ you get an MCU development board that is ready built, a USB JTAG downloader, programmer, debugger pod, power supply, and CD with SiLabs IDE software, trial version of Kiel development tools and a sample program or two.

This board even comes with a schematic, "get started" directions, and a MCU controllable LED ready installed on the board.

Get this going, make a program to blink the LED at your 5 second delayed rate, see it run and you will be well on your way to being rather comfortable with a very practical microcontroller. This board supports a small wiring area where you can add some additional electronics as you fine tune your new skills and become venturesome to expand your horizon. Eventually you will be fully capable of contemplating whether to ask the question of yourself if you want to try making your own board.

Good Luck
Michael J Karas

   Get something ready to do to start...            01/01/70 00:00      
   here's a simple ISP cable for 89S51/2            01/01/70 00:00      
      ... and HOPE            01/01/70 00:00      
    or DS89C450            01/01/70 00:00      
      Not the fastest by 3::1            01/01/70 00:00      
         There are features ...            01/01/70 00:00      
            Pray explain            01/01/70 00:00      
               Some features really DO help            01/01/70 00:00      
                  why fiddle with MODE 0            01/01/70 00:00      
                     There aren't many reasons, but SPI isn't one            01/01/70 00:00      
                        you are describing SPI            01/01/70 00:00      
                           Have a look!            01/01/70 00:00      
                              luvverly !            01/01/70 00:00

                                       You missed a thing or two, Erik            01/01/70 00:00      
    i edit my answer as            01/01/70 00:00      
   AT89S5X or DS89C450MNG            01/01/70 00:00      
   Back to Topic-here is what I tried for days..            01/01/70 00:00      
      two mistakes            01/01/70 00:00      
      Logic Low Levels?            01/01/70 00:00      
      please consider            01/01/70 00:00      
         Abt ISP cable ang voltage level            01/01/70 00:00      
            That how most of these posts go            01/01/70 00:00      
               schematics at last!            01/01/70 00:00      
                  no, the frequency does not matter            01/01/70 00:00      
            Maybe a helpful link            01/01/70 00:00      
            Where you measure the voltage makes a difference            01/01/70 00:00      
               ISP Schematics at last!            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Keep your work clean and wires short            01/01/70 00:00      
                  See if this suits you...            01/01/70 00:00      
      EA pin should be high            01/01/70 00:00      
         EA high not necessary during ISP            01/01/70 00:00
