There is allot of experienced people here with these Propeller products. But if your brand new to Propeller C and the ActivityBot/Board, what forum am I supposed to post questions to? It's really confusing to me and I apologize!

Thanks

    Depends what the topic is. If it's about the PropellerC educational material, post it in the Learn forum. If it's about the Propeller chip in general, post it in the Propeller forum. If it's about electronics or mechanics in general then post it in the General Discussion.

    But really, these forums are pretty lenient and there is quite a bit of overlap in forum scope. As long as it's not grossly incorrect you will be fine.

    oakguy, and if you really aren't sure just take a guess. We can always move threads around as necessary. Lots of nice and very smart people like SLRM are on these forums and we'll do our best to help you out.

    Where did you find your ActivityBot and why did you decide to buy it, if I may ask?

    Welcome to the forums, by the way!

    I Started with the original BoeBot and I also use C# at work. When I saw the new ActivityBot, and all it needed was an amplifier, I was ready to get one. Appreciate your answers!
    I will do some posting!

    Oakguy, it has an audio amplifier built-in, so it doesn't need one. Maybe you're thinking of a more powerful line out for some higher volume?

    The encoders and high-speed motors really make the ActivityBot go, and of course a Propeller Multicore to handle all the sensors and output devices.

    Will look forward to your questions. Hopefully the first one isn't a SimpleIDE installation problem [because if it is, we'll be a tad embarrassed!].
