Rolf, I think that asking for opinions is fine. You didn't sound like you were demanding that others do your homework for you. You obviously spent some time and just want another set of eyes on it. Where else can you get such a great resource than the piclist? I think that the "For free?" reply was just in good fun (it was followed by a smiley face). If I wasn't in the same situation as you I would offer some advice... But I think that people who are more advanced than a hobbyist (which is all that I am) can probably add a more helpful critique. One helpful tip... to increase your hobby budget skip lunch! ;) -Jeff -----Original Message----- From: piclist-bounces@mit.edu [mailto:piclist-bounces@mit.edu]On Behalf Of Rolf Sent: Wednesday, January 24, 2007 2:44 PM To: Microcontroller discussion list - Public. Subject: Re: [PIC] Circuit Comment and Critique Well, uhm, as I said, I know it was a long post, with lots of detail, and so on. I don't expect it to be realistic for everyone to dive in and grasp the whole project, etc. I tried to be up-front about that. I was hoping that someone more experienced than me (like 99% of the people on the list) would be able to spend the time to go through it. And I mean the "hoping" part, I am sure that, for most people here, the time required would be excessive. So, in short, yes, for free... ;-) My options are to beg for an experienced set of eyes, or to build it myself, and risk failure, and 'earn' the experience the hard way. Failure would create a substantial dent in my hobby budget just in the parts alone (about $50 parts in the transmitter...). I have done a lot of homework to get where I am now, and, while I have come some ways, the finer details are learned expensively through experience, or listening (rather cheaper) to experienced people.... I am hoping to learn through the latter, for once. I hope that my original post did not imply I expect everyone to put my request at the top of a priority list...
