TinyDuino Processors & TinyShields / TinyScreen Basic Kit "hello world" for newbie with questions
« on: August 16, 2024, 04:21:18 PM »
I want to use this as my on-ramp to learning micro-controllers. I have bought many, they are sitting in boxes, I just can't seem to get traction. I find this one motivating because its small and I have a specific need.
I want to be able to collaborate with someone else in coding. Should I be using CodeBender then? Or just stick with the Arduino IDE?
I am a minimalist web programmer and I find it off-putting when tens of thousands of files get installed for a dev environment, so CodeBender seems attractive. But I am wondering if it is relevant today? I have tried PlatformIO but that also blew me away for the same reason.
Should I even think about MicroPython or stick with C? I paid someone to do a long dev project on ESP32 and MicroPython kept bumping against the memory limits.
I guess I just need a step-by-step hello world to get started. I'll be ok after that.
Thanks.
