I've been reading this newsgroup for a while now and have come to the
conclusion (over and over again) that the people posting here asking
for help just don't give enough information to solve the problem.
What I usually see is one post generating many different solutions to
as many problems. I think what most would like to see here is a
well-defined problem, with one or two good solutions. And yes, if you
look at some of my old posts you may find me guilty as well.
When asking for design ideas I think it might help for you to assume
that you are the design guy and a customer is coming to you for the
design. Or vise- verse maybe. Imagine the types of questions that
you are going to ask your customer in order for you to complete the
design. These are the same questions that we would ask if we were
eyeball to eyeball with you.
I'd like to post a few questions here and perhaps others might like to
add to the list. I hope in the end this becomes a worthwhile
investment of time. There are bright engineers that hang here and I
hope this may help them to get the best information out. It takes a
little time and energy to answer the posts. More if they're
ill-defined. If the people asking make it easier to answer, we're all
better off.
1) Is this a homework assignment? (I don't really care, just like to
know.)
2) Is this design one-up for perhaps a piece of equiptment for your
lab, an experiment of some sort, or going to be mass produced?
