development - New to microcontrollers...options for getting up and going cheaply


I've never designed a microcontroller circuit before, but have programmed them on dev boards. I've Googled around for a while, but haven't found a definitive answer. Maybe I'm missing something.


I would like to use a microprocessor to buffer the output of an ADC, and get the results back to my Raspberry Pi via SPI. However when it comes to programming the actual micro controller I don't really want to spend a lot of money on a programmer.


Surely there must be open source tools which i can use for this? If so, which chip manufacturer has the best open source support on the web?

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
