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?

What do you want to make? Figure out exactly what you want to do and go from there. Look at Automation Direct they have cheap plc and good customer service, helping you make things work. They are more industrial focused but it works the same.
