I know I hated those. However to some degree you have to deal with all of these when dealing with the hardware. :) Look at all the posts we get talking about SMPS regulators and wireless communication links. However I guess you really meant heavy duty power distribution networks and ethernet/telephone/microwave type communication. Still having a knowledge of these can help to shape the way to go with the itty-bitty bits we deal with simply because of an understanding of some of the bigger issues. -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
