How to become a master of single chip microcomputer

The secret of microcontroller masters

1. Don’t just say “Give me a code!” when you see someone else’s reply. You should think about why. When you figure it out yourself and refer to other people’s suggestions, you will know the difference between your own thinking and theirs.

2. Don't be stingy. If you can't even afford to spend dozens of dollars on a book, what are you learning? If you read e-books to save money, the time wasted will definitely exceed the value of the book. Of course, if you want to look up information, you can only read PDF.

3. When learning new development software, you must read the help manual. The book you bought is not comprehensive enough. When you first come into contact with a software and don’t understand anything, you blindly ask questions and make yourself look childish.

4. Don’t just skim the surface and get by. It’s the details that often reflect your strength.

5. It is better to keep outdated technology in mind than to talk about trendy technology.

6. Read books you can understand carefully; read books you can't understand. Don't expect to remember and master something after reading it for the first time - read it a second or third time.

7. Practice more, solder the board, debug, write and adjust. You will never become a master if you only use software simulation.

8. Save all the source programs, PCBs, schematics, etc. you have made - that is one of your best accumulations.

9. As for the Internet, I still hope that everyone can make more use of it. Many questions do not have to be asked in the forum. First of all, you have to learn to find the answers yourself. For example, Google and Baidu are both very good search engines. You only need to enter keywords to find a lot of relevant information. Don’t always wait for others to give you hope. It shows that you must be very lazy in normal times!

10. When you go to a forum, learn to read previous posts. Don't just post a question without reading anything. Maybe your question has already been asked by someone else, and when you ask again, others may not want to repeat it. As a beginner, no one wants to have no one reply to their post.

11. Although I don’t mean to discourage beginners, I still want to say this: forums are places for discussion. If you always expect an expert to give you free advice, it’s only right that he is your relative!! The discussants should be at least of the same level. If the level gap is too big, and even basic operations need others to answer, who would discuss with you?

What kind of person is impetuous?

People who are impetuous tend to ask: What should I learn? - Should I learn the basics? I don't know what a microcontroller is, but I want to learn ARM? I don't know      C language, but I want to learn Linux? Don't always aim too high.

People who are impetuous tend to ask: Who has the source code of xxx? - (How much money do you give them? Is their own labor given to you for free?)

People who are impetuous tend to say: I beg you to do something - (Even the Internet has to have some dignity, right?)

Impetuous people tend to say: Emergency help - (actually just a simple course design)

People who are impetuous will easily ask: Is there any Chinese material for xxx? －－－One word: lazy. Don't say anything else. Can't write English? Who didn't start from ABC?

People who are impetuous tend to say: "I need xxx, my email is xxx@xxx.com " and then disappear - do you think you are the boss? When people invite you to dinner, do you have to feed the food into your mouth?

People who are impetuous tend to ask: Is there any money to be made in making microcontrollers? If you are just doing it for the money and can’t master the technology, you might as well rob a bank.

People who are impetuous will easily ask: Where can I find information about xxx chip? (In fact, most of the information is available on the Internet, but they just go to ask people, lazy!)

There are two types of impetuous people: those who just watch and don’t learn; those who just learn but don’t persist. Impetuous people will never be a master.
