Beginner saying Hello :)

Hi there,

I’ve decided to get my hands a little dirty here and thought I would take the time to introduce myself in case there’s some friendly regulars here :slight_smile:

I’ve had an interest in this kind of stuff for a long time but never had the knowledge that I thought was necessary to get involved.

To help me out in the future, can you guys recommend a couple things for me?

  • Some good reading to get me started on the basics

  • A kit or pieces to make up my own kit of a few things to get me started

I picked up two boards recently which have just been sitting around because I had no idea what I could do with them or what they’re capable of:

  • Teensy++ 2.0 AT90USB1286

  • and another board I can’t remember the exact name but it has a marking of AT90USB1287 (AT90USBKEY?)

Can someone shed some light on what part these will play in future projects?

Looking forward to working on some neat projects :slight_smile:

Cheers,
