Hey Poal,

I want to create new Wunderwaffen for WW3, so I'd like to learn some microcontroller-programming and electronics in general, and I'd like to ask you for any ideas/resources/anything else about how to start.

I'm able to use get a "real" computer to do my bidding, and I'm able to code in several programming-languages, including C/C++, but I know next to nothing about electronics, as in how to create a circuit-board that actually does something, and so on. My knowledge in that regard is basically, that I know the relationship between Volts and Amperes, and have used a soldering iron in the past for basic repairs.

Do you have any suggestions where to best start out, what resources to use, and so on?

Start with Arduino junk so you can get a basic idea of things, then you will slowly begin to make your own stuff. Though, these days with microcontrollers you don't need a lot of analog knowledge to connect useful things to it. I think the best way to learn is find something you want to make and figure out how to make it.
