Knock sensors

| OK,
| I'm REALLY new to the termonology in these parts...

| this group?  If not, please define?

Operational Amplifier, an amplifier
Comparator, something that compares
KS,  Knock Sensor
Radio Shack has a series of little "Mini Engineer's  Notebooks"  that cover
the basics in opto couplers, op-amps, comparators,555s, and they have a
beginners electronics book by Forrest Mimms III, that help.
