Peoples of TWHL! I would like to get back into the world of programming micro processors. The only thing is, I don't know where to start... I tried getting the TI launch pad but I honestly don't know where to begin because with that because it's just the chip. I'm looking to read digital and analog inputs, control digital and analog outputs, and possibly communicate on an RS-232 network.
Can an arduino do all this?
Are they easy to get into?
