jadf24 wrotei was just about to post a new thread about this topic and i came upon this thread.
im really intrested in building a similar project!
however, im not an expert on neither electronics nor programming (just finished highscool). so not even close to that but i really want to be able to do this.
can anyone help by shedding some light on some of the basic requiremnts, such as coding languages (whatever it may be,im ready to learn it) and on some of the required equipment?
jajoja wroteNote: if your not sure whats atmega or a microcontroller i suggest you to start with arduino its good for starters and non-coders ;)
^ i think that is my case :/
where can i find an arduino in lebanon? (i've seen it been used on many gadgets and projects built)
is it expensive? and can it be connected to a router?
i've been planning on applying this project through wi-fi
i want to integrate a basic and simple app on my blackberry which sends the commands to the simple-motor/car/LED/Light switch/ through a router.
so i guess i have to learn a basic coding language that is compatible with my phone, and i have to learn the basic electronics needed for such a project.
any tutorials, guides would be very helpful. An RC car looks very complex so i guess it would be easier for me to apply such a project on a simple motor, led, or lamp
thanks in advance.
1-Forget about the project if you dont know the basics youll start imagining random projects without knowing how far they are difficult to accomplish, im not saying that your project is difficult at all, but for you it is .
2-Heres an advice if someone told you , explained you , the project how about letting him do it for you instead of wasting your time .
3-If you want to learn you should start with C# language turning led On/Off (search for avrstudio examples)
4-Then you should pick up your hardware for example arduino which i dont like because its straightforward unlike using different atmega ,
miniexplanation: arduino is based on atmega but on only one chip (different bootloader) if you want to become an avr dude you should start with atmega16 and then attiny2313 if you did some coding with those two devices you can start on any atmega project but you will need to read the datasheet of the Ic (which is easy after step nb.4)
5-Now you can start building a project , the project itself is easy to accomplish the hard part of it is the coding
6-After that you have a chance on posting your problem with your project and not saying i want to build up a project which i know zero info how-to
hope that helps , learning avr is easy but coding avr is not that easy ;)
Note: Katranji sells atmega universal programmer , i dont know about the arduino , and i dont use an atmega universal programmer , i build for each atmega that i use another programmer for example i have like 2 different circuit for each attiny and the atmega16/32/.. but from katranji its universal for both and more.
