i was researching diodes·and was wondering how to use them with the basic stamp 2, what i want to do is to charge a capacitor till it is fully charged, then i want to slowly discharge it into a diode which leads to the stamp, when the capacitor is "empty" i want it to tell me how long it took to discharge it, a schematic would help and also should i use the count for this or something else, if something else then what should i use

    You don't need a diode just a cap and resistor.
    Look at the RCTIME command.
