    morning all

    Comment


      This morning it's the "go through every resistor value in the stores list to see if I can make my 555 timer perform according to the spec I was given".

      And one has managed to let the magic smoke out of a 555, which is unusual because 555s are robust.

        there's one who's given up.

        Amazing the lack of persistence.

        Apart from the ones who persist in doing the wrong thing ad infinitum.

            Some one shoot me now.

            It would be a mercy.

              I have an ever growing pile (or hemorrhoid) of discarded components returned by esteemed customers in their desperate attempt to fulfil the conditions of their assignment.

              The idea that one might use two resistors in series to make up a value that isn't in the stores list appears to be entirely novel.

                Just issue them with a 1K, 10K, and 100K pot and they can twiddle 'till they get the desired results? Tactile in'it?

                  Has anyone seen my agenda? I hid it and now I can't find it.

                    Have you lost your plot as well?
