im currently in this class as we speak. im just waiting on test results. is it the same as computer programming essentially or is their differences?

Well, microprocessor programming is, or at least can be, confusing. Different models of microprocessor's have different sets of binary that they use. Do you know what the class will essentially involve? Like model of microprocessor your going to use, if it's just the basics, etc.    |

well we are using hexadecimal but i forgot what kind of microprocessor we're using

me too, Ray, we also use hexadecimal, and we're using MPLAB for microchip programming....  |

i didnt go to school today but i think we are using 8 bit microproccesors

I can't explain why some schools use 8 bit microprocessors instead of 16 bit microprocessors. What is the difference between the 2? I just programmed 16 bit microproccesor only once using ASM commands once but I never encounter or program a 8 bit microprocessor (I just almost forgot it but some commands I remember). But I just see that some of 8 bit microprocessor programming is C-friendly, so it might easy than 16 bit microprocessor programming. |

8 bit processors mean the processor can only interpret 8 bits at a time. That means that the maximum number of commands is determined by 2 to the 8, and the max amount of memory you can have is determined by the same number. 8 bit programming might be easier because there are fewer commands, but that also means simple operations such as multiplication and division are probably not built in and take several steps to complete. You can write a C compiler, which takes c code and turns it into assembly, for pretty much any processor.

yup. we are now integrating circuits with the programming

For EmptyMind: So that's why some people must learn 8Bit Microprocessor Programming before 16Bit Microprocessor Programming because it is easy to learn. It is like learn the basic first than the difficult one. It is hard to program the 16Bit Microprocessor because of different commands like ASM Commands. But some problems regarding microprocessor programming is different microprocessors means different binary values that they can used or identify. Maybe if 8Bit can use 8Bit Binary Values only, the 16Bit is more complicated because it can use double than 8Bits with different values and different commands that are not the same as 8Bits. Does this right or wrong? I can't even identify the difference because I didn't program a 8Bit Microprocessor. |
