About clocks

Right, and the secondary-electron suppressing coating that Murdoch conveniently used on his ship. If it weren't for the nauseating "love interest", it'd be a great book, at least in the Edgar Rice Burroughs genre. Tarzan of the soldering iron.

There have been many code changes, and the display pictures are already a bit old.. display looks better now.

Yes, you DO nice work, BUT..from now on, _PLEASE_ use BLACK INK on WHITE paper; scan and write to PDF. Your schematics have always been mud on mud to start with, and non-uniform illumination further decreases ability to enhance it.

May I suggest you get a good monitor, or adjust it properly? These are very large jpgs and I can read them no problem.

Anyways if you have some question about some component you can always ask here, that is if I still remembered what I soldered in there... Its often an element of chance, although that gets better now with SMDs, but even then I may pick a different value to keep the stock of parts 'even'. For example in this simulation I _really_ needed 10k,

and 10k is often a grab value, so there are less, so next time I need 10k (or there about) I grab 12k or 8k2... It is even worse with decoupling caps, at high frequencies anything from 10nF to 22nF to 100nF is a grab value. If it gets more serious and I expect some RF I may go higher or use 22nF + 1uF or something, or 2 in parallel, or and you see resistors in series to get the correct dividers, and in that case there are more than one possibilities too. So if not sure ask. Actually the code works that way too.. I just type it like these postings, do a spell check (assembler, compiler), and it usually works, sometimes when spaced out it does not work, I just go blank, get pissed, and then my hands write the right code. There is this guy who can do Pi by head to hundreds of digits, he does it the same way, wait for his brain to show the right next digit [there is youtube video of him doing that, no I cannot do that], If "I", my ego, mind, takes over, usually I have to scrap the code. I sometimes do save those attempts, few day ago I saved one as 'take 1', dunno about take one, should read it someday, but it was crap :-) Maybe better erase that. We are neural nets, not logic machines, and them little neurons can do a lot more then you may think, _if_ you let them. OK that was philosophy for Sunday morning.

Jan, why argue with the man - he's trying to help you.

The more illegible the document, the fewer who will bother to read it.

I was trying to help him. really some people have no clue how to even watch a large JPG.

Those who really care will learn, and ask, and to be quite honest, I do not give a f*ck about those wo dont.
