Yes, that's the plan I'm going with, thanks. I couldn't quite work out
what Jim was getting at with his "try flipping it" suggestion. I'm sure
it was immensely elegant, though, coming from Jim.

I don't like LTspice's schematic entry... as klutzy as using Paint

It's all about the user interface... so many to describe, but one
example, to move in PSpice just click on the object to highlight it
and drag it to where you want... in LTspice, you have to hit F7, then
click and drag the object... those extra steps are annoying.

For real annoyance, try LTspice on a Macbook. F7 requires a shift key
and as for 'right-click' ... for that, you have to find desk space, a Bluetooth
mouse, and some batteries.

Terminating a connection is the same thing as murder. We must respect
the sanctity of connections from conception to a natural death.

Another worthless thread. "

People just don't fucking get it. If we don't stand together we shall surely fall apart.

Like homos. I cannot stand the whole idea. Shaking hands is far enough for me and I don't do that often either. But they got the right to do what they do, and they don't make babies on welfare. As long as they do it in their own space and don't gross us out by kissing n shit in public, do as thou wilt. I smoke pot. So now if you are a homo and you want me to support your right to do what you want, I have every right to expect you to support my own little pursuit of happiness. If not they can go fuck themselves.

We are losing this country. In a few years it will be just like Europe and then, why the hell did we come here ? There are places there is you say only 5 million Jews died in the holocaust you go to prison. Ask Ernst Zundel. Whatever your slant on that, that Man should never have been fucked with. And actually he only was because he did not renounce his German citizenship.

But most people do not see this shit, how it creeps in on us. Get this in your fucking head - EVERY TIME THEY MAKE AQ LAW THEY ARE TAKING AWAY MORE OF YOUR TIGHTS. That is what laws are, prohibitions against doing something that used to be just fine but now aren't.

You used to have the right to do that but now you don't. What the FUCK else do you call it ?

I got no kids, Thompson does. Even though I care I do not let it bother me, despite my loquaciousness on the subject of government.

When I was young, they couldn't search you if you were under 18, they couldn't search your car without a warrant. Now they rip diapers off babies to see if there is a joint hidden in there. You call this progress ? I don't.

 

"The Competitive Enterprise Institute - same bozos that distributed

Fox news won the "right" in court to lie with impunity.

And BTW, the vicious attack on tobacco was a liberal nut fuck. first of all, they forced them to put the tar and nicotine levels on the package, and then accused them of manipulating tar and nicotine levels. What the fuck did they expect, that each pack was labelled personally by some inspector or some shit ? Of course they manipulated the levels, they were forced to. It was really a war on old money. Tobacco money was in the old south, and liberals hate the old south because the old south respects the White Man and his significant accomplishment. Want more ? I got more.

Fuck those motherfuckers, and fuck global warming. People are so goddamn stupid they do not realize that at this point in time we cannot do shit about it. You ready to give up your car and ride a bicycle ? In the winter ? In the rain ? you think those "carbon credits" they trade around do anything for the environment ? Fuck no, they are just "rentes", a revenue stream.

Done for now.

People are so goddamn stupid that all kinds of political, marketing
and religious scams work very well on them.

We are being taught from birth not to question authority, by the time
a child enters high school in the US, conformity and popularity count
for way more than developing the ability to think for one's self. By
the time an adolescent begins college conformity and submission to
authority is further inculcated by professors who become vindictive if
a student has the temerity to question the profs favorite theories,
and woe be to them that can find errors in a profs lectures.

We learn to go along to get along; don't be rude, don't rock the boat,
don't give offence.

The first picture is the drill connection to the clutch sensor. The next two
pictures are the clutch sensor. It appears to be a resistor. An object/pin
presses down and slides across that C-shaped sensor when the drill clutch
grip is turned.

Question:
Will leaving those three wires unconnected risk some sort of floating input

I didn't look at the pictures. Sounds like a thing I'd
wrap in electrical tape and then wire tie somewhere out of the
way. (Wire tie, is that right? plastic zip ties.)

George H.

I guess not.

Thanks.

FWIW...

On the hammer-drill setting, the resistance is over 100 K to either the red
or the black wire. On the other settings, it ranges from 5K to 1K, inverted
depending on whether going to the red or the black wire. In other words...
Twisting the clutch causes the resistance to increase to the black wire
while causing the resistance to decrease to the red wire.

The resistance remains about 5K between the red and the black wire.

 

Nearly twenty years and still page one in search. Nice.
