im interested in small robotics, starting my electrical engineering
class next semester - im wondering about microcontrollers, and circuit
design together. where can i learn the basics of digital circuit
design? and whats a good first step. a book suggested "getting started
in electronics" the radioshack book, it comes soon but i think its
analogue? i dont know, how can i learn how to deisign simple circuits
at first!

Electronic's Workbench Demo from EDA

PIC micro's are low cost to get onto and lots of robotic groups use
them, sure some newsgroups on both

P.S.:

There are also lot's of on-line tutorials. First thing to learn is Ohm's
Law for DC circuits.

Start with a PIC microcontroller. For less than $50 you can be up and
running with a programmer and everything else you need to use them.
Resources abound, www.microchip.com, www.piclist.com, google for more.

My suggestion is "start small". Get one of the smaller chips (16F628 is
a handy one) and see if you can get some LEDs blinking or something
like that. Then work your way up.
