Stephanie Said:

Have you ever pondered the direct correlation between the micro world and the macro world?

We Answered:

I ponder this quite often. You could also add relative time to this. What may seem like billions of years to us could be only seconds to a different perspective. In this sense Earth could very well be an electron (or the like) only a fraction of a perception of a second from total annihilation that seems to be infinite in our perspective.

Would a ammeter work for an experiment that requires a micro-ammeter?

We Answered:

It just depends on the range(s) of the ammeter and the current you are expecting from your solar cell. So long as the current from the solar cell is large enough to register on your ammeter then you should be fine.

How to embed micro controllers unto objects?

We Answered:

Hi dude,

I recommend you to use ATMEL AVR micro-controllers. You need to program your micro to be able process some commands received from PC and after that move your object depends on those commands. I'll explain this to you...
As you know, micro-controllers does not have any component which be able to move your object directly, so you should use a suitable motor depends on your needs (In this situation I recommend you step motors which you can move them by degree). connect step motor to your micro and use a suitable driver (a program compatible with your motor which will be executed on your micro, you can find how does step motors works by either googling or manufacturer's provided datasheet) to move motor in a specific range defined by you.
I think there will be no need to connect your micro to the PC, you can design a circuit for user to be able input time and anything else you want directly to be used in your micro program, This will make your project's requisite more less.

good luck...
