Mike, Mike, Mike!
Man are we locking on topics this week!  I just finished a motor control
project, and spent WEEKS figuring out how to fire SCR's based upon a 0-10V
signal.  As usual, I cannot get it in the Email, but I will gladly fax it
over.  The operation is somewhat complicated, if you want the fastest
explanation, call and I will narate the method of operation.

Per your second question (from the other Email) I eagerly design products
for people all over the western PA area.  My claim to fame is re-developing
products that have become aged and parts are getting hard to find.  By this
point in a products life, the original engineers are long gone.  But in
general, I design electronics with specialties in processor design (Real big
on the PIC obviously), along with skills in analog electronics, switch mode
circuit design, and general product design.  Meanwhile, I am designing a
product or two in the background for eventual sale to the market.  Aren't
all consultants?  Three kids and a wife round out my life to a fast paced
clip.

Of course, it is only polite if you tell me what you do.

          May I ask, tell me something about what sort of stuff you do?
