Vcoil ~= sin(wt) * e**(-Kt) > PS: There is a lot of chaos in more than one place. This system is not chaotic. If all the parameters were well known, it would be reasonably predictable. The whole point of chaotic systems is that there is more than one possible response, and the choice of response can not be predicted in any one instance. At best, each response can be given a probability. ***************************************************************** Embed Inc, embedded system specialists in Littleton Massachusetts (978) 742-9014, http://www.embedinc.com -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
