Re: Beginners software

I needed to learn microcontrollers a little to do some data logging
in the field. Now my attention is turned towards setting up this
drilling machine. From what I have found so far, the PC is far and
away more easy to program than a micro.

Either you have to know everything when you set up the micro, or put
in a lot of places for changing the program on the fly.

OR, you can re-program. In that case, you're back in front of the
keyboard and monitor anyway.

I did search the list, and I'm sure some references are made to
simple software, but there is a lot to sort through and very often
things change. I mean, I found a reference to BOBCAD being free for
DOS. These days, they charge.

Thanks for the help.
