![]() I was looking for some sites specializing in interfacing circuits with linux. I am familiar with programming microcontrollers but this has all been done in Windows. Where are you based? I know some good retailers for Germany (and possibly EU) for hobbyist electronics. A very simple way is the IOWarrior, which lets you connect via USB, or possibly some Atmel AVR board with a serial interface (probably cheapest solution). ![]() Eventually I would like to even program some GUI interfaces for these components.Įasiest way would be a very small microcontroller that provides the interface logic. I know how to design circuits and program in C, now I am just looking on how to interface these circuits with the computer. Something I would eventually like to be able to do is create a little box with light sensors that I can shine a laser pointer at and control music (play, next, previous, etc). On a somewhat related note, do you guys happen to have any resources for connecting circuits up to a computer (parallel or serial ports) and controlling them? As a simple example, writing software to control LEDs through the parallel port. I have to use windows, because all the compilers. ![]() Most pages I run across seem to assume and advanced level of knowledge already. I've had very little luck finding resources for linux. The development board is from Axiom and they provide a terminal program called AxIDE to connect to the micro controller, change config flags, upload programs into RAM or flash the EEPROM. (btw, we're learning on the Motorola 68HC11). I'm taking a microcontroller apps course in college and this semester we're programming in C using the port of the GNU toolchain. Just to clarify things: I'm talking about GNU/Linux as a development platform, not necessarily as the software running on the ♜ontroller.Īre there any microcontroller devs here? What hardware do you use? (I have a lpc2103-board and an at91sam7s256 board) What resources are you using to get your howtos, binary toolchains, flasher tools, linker scripts, boilerplate code and last-but-not-least your blinking LED examples? ![]() ![]() Even most GNU-toolchains out there run on cygwin, and the scarce linux-specific resources are scattered all over the web. Having dabbled with microcontrollers for some time now, it struck me as kind of strange that most of the development stuff, even for hobbyists, is Windows-centric, when GNU/Linux, and even more so Gentoo+crossdev, seems to be an ideal match for ♜ontroller-development.
