May I suggest both sides return back to earth?
@Skaterboy: Sorry: You have experienced some not too friendly comments from us (including me). When you honestly look through this already rather lengthy thread I think you will realyze that you are not entirely unblamable for this. People have been giving you good advice, but you showed no signs of appreciating this advice. On the contrary you showed a rather demanding demeanor and boast with what you think you know - ignoring what you don't know. The latter being the much bigger piece of the cake. This forum is full of normally friendly and knowledgeable people who help without asking for anything in return. Please respect that these people want to be respected, too.
A few tips that should help you get along:
- be friendly and respect the wisdom of elders in the profession
- ask as detailed as possible and give as much information as possible. This helps us to narrow down any problems you may encounter.
- if you don't understand an answer, ask detailed. A general "I don't understand" is of little help for us.
- when asked for more information or detail, try to answer as precisely as possible without detour.
- get a feeling for your own capabilities. Be assured that we have dealt with many noobs in the course of time and that it is definitely not our wish to disencourage beginners.
- take your time and go along step by step. Electronics is a vast field. So vast, nobody can be an expet in everything. Even less a beginner.
- last not least: show us that you work at understanding what you find by Googling or what you are told. (Almost) nothing annoys us more than not seeing a willingness to do some own work on the side of the one who's asking .
@all others: Let us give Skaterboy the chance for a new start
Regards,
Harald
