OT: Bush Thugs Rough Up Grieving Mother of KIA

That shows your 'voltmeter' but it doesn't show the loads you connect to
the battery, and that matters; see below.

I see your point. The battery monitor circuit is mounted into a plastic box,
it's connected to a little Fuse board circuit, which the other devices are
connected to.

So basically it goes, Battery down a 3 Meter cable to the "Fuse board".
Then in parrellel to the Battery monitor, Telescope, and Dew heater. The
battery monitor is in the same box as the Fuse board and the dew heater
controller. The heater controller feeds a 5 meter cable that connects to the
heating element. The telescope is connected to the Fuse board via a 5 Meter
cable as well. Something like this...

Battery --------> Fuse Board --> Battery Monitor
--> PWM (K8004) ------> Heating Element
--------------------------> Telescope

It's as close as I can get it to the battery terminals without putting the
circuit on the battery (which I don't really want to do)

My thought on this is to place a kind of Ammeter into the circuit, that
will adjust the value of VR1, in accordance to the amount of current
drawn through the circuit. Changes in current would would effect this
part of the circuit, and continuously trim the battery meter, so that
the readout remains stable. (and hopefully correct)

No, all that would do is to alter the calibration of your 'voltmeter' so
that 10 V appeared to be 12 V. I don't think you would be satisfied with
that!

That's exactly what I was thinking of. It would be on a par with putting a
spring into a pully system to keep the tension constant.

And ideas for how to do this?

Can anybody in the country finish this sentence:

The Goal of the American Mission in Iraq is to:

Establish a Turkish-like secular democracy.

Has anybody asked the folks in Iraq if that's what they want?

Maybe they all want to turn the country into a big church, with
one high muckety-muck running the whole joint -

Why should that be any of our business, other than in apocalyptic
visions in the warped minds of the paranoid-schizo neonazis?

That's what freedom is all about, after all - "manage your own
affairs to your own specification."

in 25 words or less? Preferably no more than three or four?

Is six OK? Or was that five? JW might know.

Great! Thanks!

Now I wonder if anyone, anywhere, has the sanity to ask a
"terrorist", "Why is it you're willing to give your life here? What
is it you're trying to accomplish? What's so important?"

Of course, the neonazis don't want to hear the answer, which is that
the Iraqis are trying to repel an invasion. And when the attacker is
bigger, faster, stronger, meaner, richer, and stupider than you,
guerilla fighting is about the only means of defense they've got
left.

Oh, he's just playing the politics of envy. I've got the money angle
pretty much covered, for myself, anyway, which is what counts. ;-)

I want Bush stopped because he's Evil. Or maybe just a puppet of whoever

To me that is the biggest factor in deciding which software to use.
After all, what good does it do when you end up in some proprietary

I wish some vendors of lower cost CAD programs would understand that. I
rather pay a little more to be more compatible.

TurboCad writes DXFs that seem to be OK.

Its DWGs only work with some versions of Autocad. I guess thats normal
because the latest Autocad can't read very old DWG files.

Intellicad also writes DXFs as does Qcad.

Since both dxf and dwg are formats *defined* by Autodesk it seems a
bit strange that Autosketch would have incompatibility issues..

*.doc files are defined by MS-Word. Very old version files can't be read
correctly by newer versions. The files from the newer version can't be
read by the old.

*.sch schematic files are defined by Orcad. There are at least 3
incompatible versions of them.

Yes, I know. *Just* a bit. You'd think they would have maintained R13
compatibility or something along those lines..

The ONLY way to overcome this VERY SERIOUS
challenge is to form an INTERNATIONAL COALITION TROOP PRESENCE in Iraq

A better way would be to get the Americans the fuck out of Iraq, and let
them sink or swim on their own. On the way out the door, say, "OK, guys -
here's your freedom - have fun. 'Bye."

Nope - that's the wrong answer. Now that it's started, it has to be
finished. Leaving would be all that's needed for the fundamentalists to
overthrow every government in the middle East, destroy the oil industry,
and murder every American ally in sight including Israel- this is their
avowed intent. You have to appreciate the extreme importance of
achieving a successful outcome in Iraq to fully comprehend the extreme
recklessness and incompetence of the Bush Administration in starting
this war with absolutely no viable post-invasion plans whatsoever,
instead relying on political fantasy hunches about Iraqis "dancing in
the streets" and receiving the US presence as "liberators"- and many
other wild imaginings that have proven to be absolutely wrong.
Unfortunately for us, the terrorist world has had no problem forming a
coalition to expedite this process. There is no turning back now- it is
swim or sink. Period.

If someone committed treason,falsified documents,and lied to Congress 30
years ago,you would want that person to become President of the US today?
Or be a US Senator?

There's no statute of limitations on treason,either.

So when is the trial of the one who outed the CIA agent to Mr Novak
(Ascroft) going to start?

There has been treason in the last year and no action taken. The odds of
any attempt be made to bring a treason charge against Kerry close enough
to zero that we can call them zero. If they are brought the odds of
getting a conviction are even less. Kerry's defence will be that what he
did was not treason. Any DA with an once of brains would never bring such
a charge.

The outting of the CIA agent on the other hand would likely result in the
conviction of a highly placed official (Ashcroft) and perhaps the
impeachment of Bush if he is re-elected. I don't doubt that Bush knows
who committed the treason and is protecting him. That qualifies as
treason also. Since Bush has said "we are at war" he should face a firing
squad.

I'd never think anything like that. I assume that people at other
companies wake up in the morning saying "what can I do to mess with Ken"
and go home snickering at night.

If I design in a CPLD, I just assume they will stop making it soon.

And I'd like to also point out this is the flicker region where
flashing lights are "in your face" and drive one nuts saying,
"Turn that off!" It's certainly NOT a matter of a nice steady
light that appears brighter because one selected a magic duty
cycle and frequency.

Additionally, I find that a random strobing is much more annoying and
difficult to tune out than a steady rate, (and that the 10 - 30 Hz
thing seems to hold true based upon my own experiments; Thanks for the
explanation of why that is so Win)

Based upon my own experimentation, I beleive that in order to get the
physiological effect per Joule of energy delivered to the LED, the
pulse width should be approx 15ms and the repetition rate should be
random centered around 25Hz. This is important for battery operated
circuits. The following circuit can do that(posted once before):

I wonder if the FET is switching too fast and giving some HF ringing

Did you try putting a small resistance in series with the gate lead of
the FET right at the FET?
