I just started a job where one of the things I do is program PLC's. We use Allen Bradley PLC's and program them with Rockwell RSLogix. Thing is, I have no prior experience with PLC's, and they weren't expecting me to. They've had me do increasingly complicated tasks for training. As far as getting s...

How the heck did a thread about a dog pissing when it gets shocked get 99 replies spanning 7 pages? Not only that, but I'm seeing posts with ridiculous amounts of text. I'm not going to waste a fraction of the time reading what you've written that you took to write it in the first place. I'd be real...

Also, since money is the root of all evil, it can also be used to quickly detect fraud or other crimes in progress in other ways too. For example, all we have to do is get a hold of Newmans electric bills for the past say 10 years (date today is 07/14/2007). If his electric usage went down signific...

I always thought that the reason to not use games on a rear projection TV was burn-in. Not so much nowadays, but a lot of older games would have bars at the top or bottom of the screen that would be there a majority of the time, and rear projection TV's were easier to damage this way rather than CRT...

Thanks a lot, i'll have to take a look at them. It looks like application notes are the way to go when you're trying to work with a new kind of signal, since it shows you what you're working with and how to do it. I found an application note from Maxim about some op-amp or something that discussed A...

Atmel makes the AVR series of microcontrollers... I just got into them after getting an EE degree, fun things to play around with. Real cheap too... All the software needed to design and program is free, you can build your own parallel port programmer for a couple bucks, and the AVR's themselves are...
