Oh, I've posted lots of stuff in "Walleye Vision" over the years. Shame they really messed up Paint in Windows 7.

The caps, the current limiting, etc were really not needed for this test. Just a simple V-Source for a retiree with low budget.

I was chasing after a Girl when I wrote the post, so the Brain's laws of physics engine, the impedance engine , common sense processor, etc. were turned off. Needed every every bit of brain cell power to deal with the "incomprehensible".

To get 5V I use a device like this and the old lithium-ion battery

And do not forget that the real DACs provide no more than 4.8V at a high level

Might note to disconnect battery when not in use for users unfamiliar with circuitry. There's a constant drain on the battery of course thru the 10K pot .. yeah, it's only 0.5mA .. the 9V batt would probably last a month and a half hooked up. .. but anywayz ...

No, she used social networking to talk to a gal I last spoke to five years ago to get a load of BS.. So the word of her old friend is worth more then my word.
Shame, I would have moved to Florida and changed jobs for that one. But the opinion of her friends is more important then that of her heart.
Funny thing is she was the one making the moves.

So realizing she needed a way to break things off..... Least she end up married and cared for, She went with the gossip.

So 2800$ of travel and rentals that could have went to charity.

You may have been saved from some terrible fate. It will all make sense in retrospect.
