Hi everyone

I am working on a Digital Speedometer, i almost finished making PCB
for the digital speedometer which includes 3 parts, 1 power supply, 2
sensor part, 3 digital speedometer PCB, its looks like working and
giving display as well, am working on the ICs because i need to write
up report on all the steps i did including the working of whole PCB,
but the thing is that still am unable to do anything? am too much
confused, is there anyboday who would be able to help me to write up?
i will forward all the PCB drawings made in Dip Trace software, ICs
used, components details, circuit schemetic as well. So please tell me
if any body would be able to write some good stuff for me proper,
please.?
I hope that somebody is going to help me out?

Regards,
Riz

He bought the PCB .. He has most of the
stuff together , so now learn the easy way ,
ask others who have built it ...

I never make a PCB , first .
I always cobble it together , cordwood
or on cardboard or whatever , for speed .

Tax laws in the US prevent us from competing
in the world . We can't get cometivive pricing
on SRAM . I'll have to go Asia and buy a bag
test em and smuggle em ...
I build test equip' .

So how do you test pizza's?

Test a pizza's what?

Apostrophes are not used for plurals, except in certain special
cases.

As far as I know, there are no legitimate special cases. Not even for
acronyms like PCBs

Hi's name should be capitalized here. ;-)

Apostrophes are for possessives, Yes, BUT NOT IN POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS!
i.e., his, hers, its, yours, ours, theirs.

And the apostrophe also indicates omitted letters as in a contraction,
i.e.:
its = belonging to it
it's = it is.

So, "equip'" could be construed as a contraction for "equipment", where
the apostrophe sort of "place-holds" for the "ment" part. :)

Gee, thanks! So why do so many commercial signs use apostrophes for
plurals -- a local gas station proclaims "Bay's Available" and quote
marks for emphasis? What do you make of
"Bread" baked fresh daily

Use the apostrophe in plurals of
- some single characters (uppercase vowels and all lowercase letters)
- short (2-3 letter) words ending in an ess or vowel sound (In "do's and
dont's", the second apostrophe stays for symmetry.)
- some unfamiliar lowercase abbreviations
- (depending on house style) decades (e.g. the 80's vs the 90s)

What is a dont? :) I prefer to write "DOs" and "DON'Ts".

I know about them. I think they're logically indefensible. Still,
Clarity of meaning should take precedence over logic, so I don't usually
get upset by them.

Because mostly, they're idiots. :)

To me, that means they're making something that they're calling "bread",
that isn't really bread. :) Kinda like "buttery" popcorn or "chocolaty"
frozen yogurt, and so on. ;-)

I didn't check the "pizza" link (do people misspell "pizza" a lot?), but
the "apostrophe" link seems spot-on.

I just wanted to comment, when you're reading some hype/blurb about some
new whiz-bang software, and the "programmer" who writes it up can't spell
or apostrophize right, and so on, I wonder, "If the guy's this sloppy with
his writing, how bad must the software be?"

Heh - just checked the "pizza" link, and it looks fine to me. :)

That was so harsh of you to say. I would have told the OP to merely go
**** himself.

You're both acting like insufferable boors.

This is sci.electronics.basics, where the only dumb question is the one
that you don't ask.

If OP really _is_ asking for someone to do his/her homework, that will
become clear soon, and _then_ we can start lecturing about the importance
of doing the coursework, but until then, it's just a newbie question,
and remember, we were all newbies once.

Or are you two just assholes who aren't even newbies yet?

Thanks,
Rich

And "crispy" chicken. They can't call it "crisp" 'cause it ain't. Oh
yeah: enjoy that Krispy Kreme.

Yeah Rich,

You tell em ...
I remember well my newbie days.

The heady excitement of building a circuit.
The nervous anticipation of seeing if it would work.
The agony when it didn't
The frustration of debugging
The elation of figuring out the problem.
The monotony of writing a repor ...

HEY, WAIT A MINUTE
I don't remember writing any _REPORTS_ for stuff I did for myself,
the only time I wrote reports was for ...

Ohhh ... Myyyy ... Gawwwd ...
Something just became clear to me ...

....
....
....

Re-read the original post Rich, he wasn't asking for help
understanding,
he wants someone to write a report for him.

Well, I have an excuse - I encountered the thread in s.e.basics, where
there is, indeed, no such thing as a dumb question - I hadn't noticed
that it was crossposted all over the planet.

And even in s.e.basics, if it's clearly homework, I'd personally answer
with something like "Ask the teacher" or "reread the coursework".

But I don't like to get nasty in s.e.basics. s.e.design, however, is
pretty much a free-for-all. ;-)

Thanks,
Rich
