You need the full set of data books for the micro controller in question, and if you are new to this subject you will probably need some tuition.
Programming is not straight forward as Microcontrollers need to be configured to suit the hardware circuit, that is to say you have to write data to certain locations to set up the ports as inputs or outputs.The inputs will probably have different modes (analogue, digital, latching...). The outputs will also have different modes too.
Some devices will be better supported than others with demo/evaluation boards cheaply available and software examples to help you get up and running.

IMO it is simplest to program in the assembler language for the micro.
High level languages e.g 'C' are available but they often complicate matters and require more expensive hardware/software.

Re: microcontroller

Likely I will shoot my own feet with this reply, but still I would like to say a bit about this...

for a good programmer of assembly it would be much more likely to choose such "way"... It´s still the more universal.

but, looking into the other side, you see that to program a microcontroller, you need the computer, the link´s, the software and the machine it self, so there I do not see any m0ore complication...(I mean for those that use assembly and for those that choose to use a microcontroller with a 'C' compiler).

is it ?

I'm not sure I understand you, but the big problem with 'C' is that you still have to write all the actual I/Ostuff in assembler for your specific hardware, unless you are using existing hardware with drivers already written.
I personally find C horrible for low level applications
error ; expected ... WALOOB!
Doubtless it's fine if you have the fancy hardware and software to debug it, but try doing it without an emulator!

I never program with assembler, that´s why I ask... gotta try dough!

But I still dint understand why you say that the peripheral electronic´s had to be more complex. I programmed with microcontroller´s with C built in compiler´s and must say that the rest can be as much as a resistor to connect... it all depend´s on the app. and the designer.!

There may have been a misunderstanding, the OP has mentioned an 8051 if I remember correctly and Del is right, you do need a load of books etc..

Now if the OP went for a PIC, especially one using BASIC, that would fit better with what you said......

I personally would not touch and 8051, or Z80 or similar ever again as the amount of hardware needed to get a working system can make it a real business.... the modern PICs have it for me, especially with their low, low price, also because there are some fantastic forums around to support users, especially new ones....

So BASICally you are both right to my mind.......shame you marked yourself off topic rather heavily.....

Re: microcontroller

Yes, that was PIC that I was refering to... Since I never worked with other similar devices I do not know the hardware configuration needed to make them pump the bytes , so I asked... being the comment of the topic (snif, snif) was just a distraction... but I´ll ask the moderator´s to change it, if you want to!

have a nice day!

You certainly did not need to mark yourself off topic, you must remember to un-tick that box when posting.

Whether or not the moderator will change that I don't know, you can ask if you feel its important. We have all done it at some point.....No big deal.....

We use a great deal of Arduino boards here. The language is an offshoot of "C".
