Getting Started
The best way to get started is to read the user’s manual. Pin developers also regularly organize tutorials and workshops. They are held at conferences and universities.
If you have specific questions after reading the user’s manual, you should first check the FAQ page. If that doesn’t answer your question, you can search through the archives of the Pinheads newsgroup to see if anyone else asked your question. Finally, if that doesn’t solve your problem, feel free to post a message to the newsgroup (don’t forget to include your Pin kit number, operating system, processor, and gcc version).
