newbie digital circuit help

dennis you rock man - i appreciate that, ALOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! week of paid vacation from the restaurant i work at in 3 weeks, im going to get reading in 3 weeks, thanks alot!!

Electronic's Workbench Demo from EDA

PIC micro's are low cost to get >im interested in small robotics, starting my electrical engineering

P.S.:

There are also lot's of on-line tutorials. First thing to learn is Ohm's Law for DC circuits.

• *Classes in Electronics* o Designing Analog Chips o Introduction to Verilog o The Electronic Design Method o XYZ's of Oscilloscopes o Circuit Analysis by Dave Sager o Digital Systems o Electronics for Beginners o DC Circuits o Iguana Labs Tutorials o Mentor Graphics Tutorial - Part 1 o Mentor Graphics Tutorial - Part 2 o Introduction to Semiconductors o Introduction to Analog Television o Navy's Electrical Engineering Training Series (NEETS)

How about visiting your school's bookstore to find out what textbooks they are using? That way you might be ahead of the game when those classes show up on your schedule.

Start with a PIC microcontroller. For less than $50 you can be up and running with a programmer and everything else you need to use them. Resources abound,

My suggestion is "start small". Get one of the smaller chips (16F628 is a handy one) and see if you can get some LEDs blinking or something like that. Then work your way up.
