Getting started LPC1768 Controller with Touch Screen LCD

Hi

How difficult will it be to program the LPC1768 Controller with Touch Screen LCD

I have C, C++ experience, but have never programmed a controller board.

Which tools do you need and how expensive is it.

I want to develop the board for a home controlled, managing the pool, solar power etc.

Or is this too difficult for a beginner.

Regards
Attie

  • The difficulty is not so much in the programming as such, but in your problem-solving abilities, your ability to learn new things, and apply them.

    "I have C, C++ experience, but have never programmed a controller board."

    So what experience, exactly, do you have?

    Clearly, the first thing you need to do is to gain some experience in programming microcontrollers.

    There's a huge range of development kits available to get you started; eg

    NXP have several boards specifically for beginners; eg,

    "I want to develop the board for a home controlled, managing the pool, solar power etc."

    That is an immensely broad and almost totally vague description!

    As you have "C, C++ experience", you should understand that a clear, precise definition of the requirement is absolutely essential before you can even begin to design a solution...

    What makes you think that an LPC1768 is a good basis for such a system?
