Help getting started - my project goals
Posted: Thu Feb 06, 2020 3:28 am
Hello Coridium,
I am a new user to your ARM boards. I am a consultant for a client who will eventually build his own ARM boards and probably purchase the $500 license version of your BASIC compiler. There are some projects which we have to get up and running in the next few months.
To get started I have purchased the following:
ARM stamp - LPC11U37
https://www.coridium.us/coridium/shop/boards/bd05-stamp
PROstart - LPC1114
https://www.coridium.us/coridium/shop/b ... 0-prostart
LPC54005 with LCD evaluation kit
https://www.coridium.us/coridium/shop/b ... 10lpc54005
Working with boards like yours is new to me and I also have to get up to speed with your BASIC compiler.
That said, I am not new to programming. My electronics experiences is a bit limited, but as far as programming I am a professional. I started programming in BASIC back in 1975. In the 1980's I learned programming in BASIC for CPM, Commodore 64 (used Abacus compiler) and even learned 6502 machine language and wrote my own BASIC compiler for the C64. When IBM compatibles came around I switched to QBasic, then QuickBasic and later Microsoft Professional Basic 7.1 and wrote custom software for businesses for a number of years. When Windows came around I moved on to Visual Basic 1.0, 2.0 and 5.0 Pro.
Finally I came across Powerbasic for Windows. Powerbasic came from Borland International's famous Turbo Basic. I then learned the low level WIN32 API for Windows and have been a WIN32 programmer for the last 20 years or so. My business created one of the few existing GUI frameworks for Windows which is based on the WIN32 (not dot.net). I have sold my GUI framework development tool for Powerbasic to Powerbasic programmers for a couple decades now.

In recent years I have been doing R&D for clients in the embedded world. I have been working with making Powerbasic work with RTOS-32 (real time operating system) for x86 boards. One client is now interested in ARM boards like the ones made by Coridium and possibly some custom boards.
What I need right now is a "short version" of how to get started with the Coridium boards I listed above. I have the BASIC tolls installed, but it seems very foreign to what I am use to. I am sure with a few "insights" from experienced users that I can get up to speed with the software.
So where do i start ?
Any simple tutorials ?
Which boards is best for a beginner to your boards ?
