Which kit do you think is the best for learning how to make a robotics system with a set of sensors and a few outputs?

You need to learn principles first - then move on to specific applications to apply what you have learned.

So you just need a board to get you started with the basics:

  • Digital inputs - switches, etc;
  • Digital outputs - LEDs, etc;
  • Analogue inputs & outputs;
  • Serial communication - UART, I2C, SPI;
  • Timers, PWM, etc

    How to write programs to internal memory with RS232???            01/01/70 00:00      
       What processor            01/01/70 00:00      
          And the winner is...            01/01/70 00:00      
             fuggetabutit            01/01/70 00:00      
                Hmmmmmm            01/01/70 00:00      
                   sure there is            01/01/70 00:00      
                   Costly failure            01/01/70 00:00      
                      Well, the UV thing confuses me...            01/01/70 00:00      
                         well, then ....            01/01/70 00:00      
                         OTP or mask-programmed            01/01/70 00:00      
                         Isn't that a clue?            01/01/70 00:00      
                      Wrong! It won't work with THIS part!            01/01/70 00:00      
                         8032            01/01/70 00:00      
                            Actually ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                               What situation would that be?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                  I think you're confusing two different parts.            01/01/70 00:00      
                               There's the thing!            01/01/70 00:00      
                                  It all depends on what you mean by experienced.            01/01/70 00:00      
                                     RE: It all depends on what you mean by, "experienced"            01/01/70 00:00      
                                        "Level" is such a relative term            01/01/70 00:00      
                                  That's the reason            01/01/70 00:00      
                            8032?            01/01/70 00:00      
                               Yes - but is it worth it?            01/01/70 00:00      
                               It's a long, circuitous path ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                         I have an external UV EPROM            01/01/70 00:00      
                            If you don't know that, ...            01/01/70 00:00      
             Unless you have specific interest in vintage electronics ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                So...I've made a decision..sorta            01/01/70 00:00      
                   One step at a time            01/01/70 00:00      
                      Any specific one though?            01/01/70 00:00      
                         This one?            01/01/70 00:00      
             Not this one!            01/01/70 00:00      
                Hmmm, a goal?            01/01/70 00:00      
                   Wrong road!            01/01/70 00:00      
                      Regarding knowledge of electronics.            01/01/70 00:00

                      When throwing out bathwater, take care to retain baby...            01/01/70 00:00      
                         out of sheer nostalgia            01/01/70 00:00      
                         It might, in fact, be a good thing to go back farther            01/01/70 00:00      
                            Interesting            01/01/70 00:00      
                               You need to know much more about two things ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                      About other processors            01/01/70 00:00      
                         The prices were on the page!            01/01/70 00:00

                   Maybe a heretic idea...            01/01/70 00:00      
                      There's a problem with these ...            01/01/70 00:00

                               I have six other microprocessors that i found yesterday            01/01/70 00:00      
                                  Well, this is not the PIC forum ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                     I was just saying...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                  'found'stuff            01/01/70 00:00      
                                     I have to agree, conditionally            01/01/70 00:00      
                               learning about microcontrollers            01/01/70 00:00      
                                  Arduino is a very good choice if not going 8051 route            01/01/70 00:00      
                                  Careful, now ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                         spend some $$$ on an already-assembled product            01/01/70 00:00      
                            in for a penny, in for a pound ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                               Still easier to learn to program before bringing up first hw            01/01/70 00:00      
                                  I'm not so sure ... maybe we'll just have to disagree            01/01/70 00:00
