Don't make me use my bare hands on you.

I have been designing a circuit card since early last October. It is the most complicated board that anyone has done (in my branch of the company anyway). I just got the very first revision A prototype assembled from manufacturing. So, first comes a quick sanity component check and then, The Smoke Test. No smoke and green LEDs. Then program one of the main parts, it programs correctly the first time. Then plug in the main computer and some other devices and power it up for a first time functional test. Works perfectly the first time! :lol: And with my manager standing right behind me. And they are about to start salary adjustment reviews. Anyway, I am very excited and happy and am going home for the day. |

For his next project, 38 will build an android that can sing various hits from the sixties and hum the opening theme from Voyager Sorry, but Fes and I like to keep raising the bar. :lol: |

Kinda demonstrates the benefit of preprototype mathematical modeling and simulations before actually getting onto the hardwire. Well done. So.... what does your circuit do ? |

yes, hours and hours of simulation. but, in the end, the simulations can't answer all questions. It is a rather complicated communication device. I can't really give any precise details in public like this. |

Simultaneously, of course.
Most definitely.
