Hello everybody,
I'mm studying mechatronical engineering in the Netherlands, and we work a lot with Arduino, but because I would like to learn other things except only the Arduino program, but I really don't know how to get started.
I own an Arduino mega 2560 and an uno and I would like to use it to print some sensor readings to a TFT screen.
I literally only own the parts and the software but I have no idea how to start.
Hope someone could guide me through the basics.
Best regards,
Marco

Hi,
If I understand correctly, you want to use mikroC to write the code for ATmega2560 and program it to the Arduino board ?
Regards,
Filip.

Hi Filip,
Yes exactly mainly because I would like to eventually code my UI with visualTFT

Hi,
In general this is possible, you will have figure how to transfer the generated HEX file from the compiler to Arduino if you don't have a programmer (there are tutorials on the internet that cover this topic).
You may download the trial version of the compiler from the following address - https://www.mikroe.com/mikroc-avr.
Install it and try to load basic examples, like LED blinking to get the feeling, if you have more questions, feel free to ask.
There is a comprehensive help system in the compiler, hit F1 to open it, it will surely be of great assistance to you.
