Hey everyone,
This is my very first post on this
blog. I have been meaning to create this blog for a while now, and
finally it is live. Before I start talking about the blog though, I
would like to say a few words about myself. My name is Anil Ozyalcin, I
am a third-year Electrical Engineering student at the Ohio State
University. I moved to Columbus, Ohio in September 2010 for college.
Before college, I lived with my parents in Ankara, Turkey which is where
I am actually from. My dad, too, is an electrical engineer, so you
could say that being an electrical engineer is a tradition for the
Ozyalcin family.
My encounter of microcontrollers has
been a strange one. In November 2011, I bought my first microcontroller
not because it had awesome specs, but simply because it was dirt cheap.
In fact, at the time I ordered my first microcontroller, I had no idea
about what it even was or what it did. You might have guessed already,
but the first microcontroller I bought was indeed the $4.30 Texas Instruments MSP430 Launchpad.
I bought it because it was very cheap, and it looked awesome with its
red circuit board and the "rocket logo." Its looks were more of a
criterion to me than its technical specs.
Long story
short, this blog is aimed to help newbies out there start building their
very own microcontroller projects! I have been there, and I know that
it can be intimidating playing with microcontrollers in the beginning. I
hope to help you guys understand the basics of programming
micrcocontrollers and how to use CCS (Code Composer Studio 5). I deal with the MSP430 Launchpad and the C2000
mainly. So I will have projects and tutorials regarding both in the
near future! Stay tuned and comment so I know at least someone is
reading this!
More info about me on my Résumé.
-Anil
