MCU Programing Forum Section.

[PeterG]

I would like to see a forum section or the main stream programing languages (Basic, C and ASM). Given the well balanced nature of this Forum, i think it would work well.
Given that most projects these days involve some form of MCU, i feel this is a natural extension.
Anyone else feel this would benefit the forum and its members?

I think other forums fill this niche quite well: RenesasRulz, Four-Three-Oh, AVRFreaks, Microchip forums, then fall back to Electronics&Robotics (Stack Exchange beta site).

I don't disagree. But if people want to ask here because it's where they hang out, then I think a category is a good idea.

I can see why a vendor-neutral forum might be useful, you can't very well expect a balanced answer on something like AVRFreaks. Plus it makes for more interesting flame wars .

I'm sure there are plenty of other forums where people could get the same information, but no harm in creating another as long as there is enough interest.

i'm glad with the new section. but i'm not sure what Dave think on the direction of eevblog, or his interest. i mean software vs hardware design, analog vs digital, things like that.

hopefully all aspects of electronics are brought to the forum. analogue still has it's place as does descrete electronics. there was a time when you didn't just whack an MCU in there but we probably don't realize how much used to be done with logic gates and transistors.

The thing with a forum for C and Basic is Who's C and Basic, true enough I head over to the mikroe forums when I have a software issue as they made the software. I once suggested a more hardware section ansd they refused.
