When you are just starting to learn MCU, it is very important to choose the right MCU development board and related accessories. Here are some suggestions:

  1. Choose a common MCU series : Common MCU series include 8051, AVR, PIC, STM32, Arduino, etc. Beginners can consider choosing a popular and easy-to-get-started series, such as Arduino or STM32.

  2. Buy a microcontroller development board : The microcontroller development board is the basic equipment for experiments and project development. For beginners, it is recommended to buy a feature-rich and easy-to-use development board, such as Arduino Uno, Arduino Nano, STM32 Nucleo, etc.

  3. Get the corresponding development tools : Download and install the corresponding development tools and integrated development environment (IDE) according to the selected MCU series. For example, you can use Arduino IDE for Arduino series, and STM32CubeIDE or Keil MDK for STM32.

  4. Purchase some basic electronic components and sensors : According to your learning needs and interests, purchase some basic electronic components and sensors, such as resistors, capacitors, LEDs, buttons, temperature sensors, etc., for experiments and project development.

  5. Read relevant textbooks and documents : Purchase some relevant textbooks and reference books to understand the basic principles, programming languages and application skills of microcontrollers, which will help you better learn and master microcontroller technology.

  6. Participate in training courses or online educational resources : There are many online training courses and educational resources for reference, such as courses on Coursera, edX, YouTube and other platforms, which can help you systematically learn MCU-related knowledge and skills.

To sum up, when you are just starting to learn about MCU, choosing a suitable MCU development board, obtaining the corresponding development tools, purchasing basic electronic components and sensors, and reading relevant textbooks and documents will help you quickly get started with MCU technology and carry out practical projects.

When you are just starting to learn MCU, you may need to consider the following aspects to choose a suitable MCU product:

  1. Functional requirements : First, determine what functions you need the microcontroller to perform, such as control, data collection, communication, etc. Different application scenarios may require microcontrollers with different functions, such as low power consumption, high performance, and multi-functions.

  2. Performance parameters : According to the functional requirements, select the appropriate MCU performance parameters, including processor core type, clock frequency, memory capacity, GPIO number, communication interface type, etc. Generally speaking, the higher the performance of the MCU, the more complex the tasks can be handled, but the cost is also higher.

  3. Development environment : Consider the development environment of the microcontroller, including development boards, programming tools, debugging tools, etc. Choosing a mature and stable development environment can speed up learning and development, such as Arduino, STM32Cube, etc.

  4. Support and community : Choose a microcontroller product with active technical support and community, you can get more help and support in the learning and development process. Common microcontroller products have rich technical documentation, sample code, community forums and other resources.

  5. Cost and availability
