Re: phase shift
We need more specifics, like the range of frequencies that have to be phase shifted, and the number of degrees needed, and the tolerance in degrees and dB.

Re: serial comm noise problem
A couple things. The RS232 spec allows a +- 3 volt noise band, and is supposed to have this much hysteresis built into the receivers, but there are some non-standard implementations out there, where the receiver is just a TTL or CMOS gate. OK for across the desk, but suspect for long runs. If your 2...

Re: serial comm noise problem
Put a scope between the grounds on your separate floors and you will get an idea of the common-mode noise you have to deal with. This noise will be complicated by any multiple tying of neutral with ground in your building, which may give you extra-big spikes when heavy loads are started.<p>But the b...

Re: surging GM alternators
I think Terri got it right. I've had two Ford regulators do this, only at idle, and one was only in the car for a few months. In both case, they worked properly off idle, and I don't consider it a problem. My guess is that they are using an electrolytic in the feedback path, and the high temps (regu...

Re: BasicStamp2
Depends on what your time is worth. The BS2 is a well thought out device with excellent programming support and a right-now code modify-test cycle. You pay for this with the cost of the chips. You don't really need the development boards; no external active devices are needed; power, ground, a DB9 f...
