EDIT: I looked this up and I don't think you can do what I originally thought of. Instead, you can use switches. Not that complicated. I'd delete the thread but they don't usually like to let you do that. I just asked because I don't know much about capacitors and I thought I might learn...

I was going to use a higher level language but it depends on the chip I guess. My AVR programmer for example came with software to make the programming step easier but adafruit looks okay. Thank you for the link. I want my circuit to work but it doesn't need to be expensive. The main thing...

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KM6ZA9I/?tag=pfamazon01-20 So I have the blue thing and the usb cord from a long time ago when I wanted to build a robot, but I don't have the bottom three (unless the bottom left hand corner one is the one attached to the blue thing). I still have the cd as well...

I'm still not sure how to do the wire junctions. So I have circuit elements A, B, C, ... Electricity goes only to one at a time based on the microcontroller, and then each wire goes back to the battery. The drawing illustrates how the microcontroller switches each of the transistors so the...

Thanks guys. I was temporarily away. I have a design and I think I can build the circuit now. I ordered some parts yesterday but now I realize I forgot about the junction thing. I'll be back if I have more questions. As a CPS guy my focus will be on programming the micro-controller - good...

I'm just trying to figure out what parts I need to buy. I am pretty sure I can use transistors for the switches, so I no longer need an answer to that. I just want to make my robot able to communicate with different sequences of flashing lights, but only one at a time. So, the electricity...

Hi, I'm a computer science student and not an electronics guy (so I may not know stuff that an electronics guy would) but I took mechanics and E&M at the college level. I've been on here before but I don't have Facebook anymore so I created a new account with my Google. For part of my simple...
