Stellaris Launchapd: help for beginners

[Ferb 0]

Hello,

as I wrote in my presentation post, I'm totally new to MCUs and programming. I've always loved to start using Arduino stuffs but, because off the cheap cost of Stellaris Launchpad, I decided to buy it.

 

I'd like to know where can I start from in the meantime.

Books, sites, tutorials, manual...anything in your mind are accepted.

My goal is to realize something different from a "blinking led"

 

Thank you very much and...thrilled to begin.

Are you familiar with C programming. You will use it alot for embedded systems. C Programming Language (2nd Edition) by K&R is a standard book.

Also, start looking into StellarisWare. You will be amazed at the quality of code in there and how fast you can get up and running.

 

Keep asking questions!

Hi wrecker,

Thanks for your answer. No, I'm not familiar with any programming language but, I'vr always been interested in learning C programming. I've a very old book for C programming (wrote in 1999 or 2000, more or less).

I'll check for a newer version.

A man from TI has called me few minutes ago on the phone. I ask for a change in shipping address and he told me I have to wait...almost a month from 25th of september. A bunch of 12.500 stellaris launchpad units has been requested...
