AI Thread Summary
Learning about microcontrollers and programming is essential for building robotics and understanding wireless signals. The user is exploring various Parallax kits, including the StampWorks Experiment Kit and the Basic Stamp Discovery Kit, but is unclear about the differences between Basic Stamp, Propeller, Javelin Stamp, and Java. The Parallax Propeller is noted as particularly interesting for its capabilities. For further understanding of signals, a recommended resource is the DSP guide available online. Engaging with these kits and resources will provide a solid foundation in microcontroller technology and signal processing.

i am interested in starting to learn microcontrollers and programming, such as building robotics and to learn more about wireless signals, such as how you can talk into a cell phone and have all that information being sent to another phone through a tower in real time.
i was looking at kits such as (cant post links because of 10 post rule, type these into google and it will come up):
parallax stampworks expirement kit

parallax basic stamp discovery kit

but am confused as to what the difference between basic stamp,propeller,javelin stamp,java and I've seen a few others as well. any suggestions and more info would be awesome.
Thank You!

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Two capacitors, etc.'

suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
