quadrature to voltage converter

Hello Jon,

In my case it probably won't help. I tried to set lines breaks in all kinds of newsreaders and under various OSes. Looks great on screen and when I check the post they are often gone. Guess the server does that and this is beyond my control. The ISP "customer service" didn't have a clue but that was no surprise :-(

These days I have the impression some younger folks don't even know what a newsgroup is.

I was amazed that the MSP430 data sheet figures indicate around half that value, 30 ohms. Amazing. Still TI will not release hard data on that which precludes many applications such as driving switcher transistors.

They do. Could you make them sparkle around Christmas time?

Regards, Joerg

Hello Jim,

Do they use an offshore call center where some kids reads the answers from an electronic loose leaf binder and if it ain't in there just say "it's not our responsibility"?

A smart "young engineer" will put a copy of LTspice on a thumb drive and hang the lanyard around his neck so that he'll never be without that most valuable resource. Smart young engineers of my day, 1950, wore slip-sticks in leather scabbards on their belts for the same reason. 8-)

Now all you have to do is to embed a script to automatically switch everybody's news reader over to a fixed character width font. A lot of "smart young engineers" don't know how to do that for themselves. 8-)

What was that animated, color enhanced, flashing stuff called that we used to use on the old dial-up BBS's? And whatever happened to the FIDO news groups?

Hello Jim,

And then the smart young engineer will see several armed security guards approaching while he is busy plugging a USB cable into the hotel PC.

In a few I'll trade the glasses against a glass of margarita 8-)

Hello Jim,

For some of us that would probably require a serious hack into the San Francisco Pacbell news server.

Regards, Joerg (who has line breaks set to 72...)

Well, you can bring the horse to the water ....

That was just what's available under your VGA (two bytes each.) I think you may have needed to have ANSI.SYS loaded, though, as I believe that is how those features were accessed.

Cheers! Rich

That's obvious. They go to googlegroups and think they're in a chatroom.

Thanks, Rich

Well, then, why don't you tell him to fix it? Duh.

Thanks, Rich

ANSI.

Well, when I look for groups with "fido." in the name, I get about 6 pages of them...

Cheers! Rich

Most security guards can spot a geek. They know they're harmless and won't bother them.

That's about how my reader takes it, too. I can use either color (:) or greater-than sign (>) to designate quoted material and my reader does NOT follow wrapping rules for such material. Which, in the case of ASCII schematics, is a good thing I think.

Hello Jim,

I wouldn't be so sure, especially these days. Trying to load you own software onto a PC in a hotel or an Internet cafe can land you in hot water quite quickly. They don't like that and for good reason since they can be held liable if mischief is being started from their premises. It is highly unlikely that their staff knows what LTSpice is.

In one hotel I saw an explicit warning to that effect right above the screen.
