The right tool

[Kevin Weddle]

Why are people designing electronics at the fringe. They use a 10 amp supply for a 10mA application. If the chip says 0 to 18 volts, they use 2. They use a 10MHz scope to measure 10MHz. They use complicated testing devices, but aren't completely sure of what they are measuring.

Hello Kevin
    I can answer that question because i'm one of them guys. I'm just a hobbiest and not a very smart one at that so I try different things that I know nothing about just to see how it works. Then when it dosen't work I post a question on the form to see what I did wrong.
                                        Have fun

same here kevin well i collect circuits and i biuld them and make changes to modify them and then if i post them audou guru dose the diagnostics  and tells me whats wrong and whats right and what dosent have to be in it , i dont have a scope but i think they use them to allso measure the different waves of the voltages like square waves and sine waves etc etc  i think some circuits like the parasite zappers , need  to put out square waves
