Hi folks,
ok so i'm as new as it gets in the electronics world. I've got a good deal of experience building computers, most of it self-taught from books and the internet. Now instead of just putting a bunch of parts together, i would like to design and build my own parts. This stuff looks very addictive and i can't wait to get started, but where to begin? :?:
I would love to build a LANC controller to allow me to start recording on my camcorder at the press of a button. Is there any way i can get started on this quickly? Any good websites that focus on a hands-on approach rather than learning math formulas for months?
What about those boards from
www.parallax.com ? I'm not sure but it looks like you just need to write some (BASIC) code and transfer it to a microchip that is already on a pcb and voila, you've got a LANC recorder?
Any help, pointers, tips, etc. is appreciated. thanks!
