Hi, Joshua. May I suggest that you find a tutor, and pay him to help
you with your school project.

You are in way over your head, and a newsgroup is not the appropriate
place to get the kind of timely, intensive help you apparently need.
This newsgroup is also not an appropriate place for homework questions.

I'm sure you could either place a post on your school bulletin board,
or advertise to find an upperclassman who is willing to be employed.

Good luck
Chris

To a certain extent I agree, yet the OP has chosen s.e.b. (rather than
s.e.d. at least) and at least has asked a question (albeit not using
particularly precise grammar ;) and perhaps even wishes to learn - who
knows.

I always thought s.e.b. might be the appropriate place for someone to
ask a question on an electronics subject about which they have no
knowledge, especially if they admit to not knowing :)

Cheers

Hi, Pete. You're right, of course. A few people have said the
unofficial motto of s.e.b. should be that "There's no question too
basic for this newsgroup". We don't want to scare off the newbies.

Look at his 15 topic posts over the last two weeks in s.e.b., s.e.d.
and sci.electronics.components, and judge for yourself. Look
particularly at the posts relating to his weigh scale project, load
cells and the LCD display. I'm thinking in particular about his post
early this morning in s.e.d. "Hi, All (Load Cell)", and the several
following spam posts, "please help me".

He really needs much more help than the advice he can get here, and
he's not being fair to himself looking for that help in newsgroups.
His project will never get done by the end of the semester. And
incidentally, I've heard it expressed a few times here that the
function of homework and class projects is to reinforce learning, and
we're defeating that purpose by serving up answers to homework
questions.

Joshua is apparently in so far over his head that a good answer to his
question might not even help. If he does understand anything about
digital logic and counting, he doesn't indicate it. And if he did, the
most appropriate response here would actually be to have somebody find
out what Digital Logic textbook they're using in his class, obtaining
the book, then typing up the chapter on ADCs in a post (including
illustrations in ASCII art ;-). He really should just read it himself,
and purchase the textbook if he hasn't done so. Sometimes there are no
shortcuts to learning -- you just have to do it. We did.

Every college and technical school has sharp kids who are looking for a
few extra honest coins (I would have included myself among those back
in the day). It might be better for him to just find one, and get some
tutoring and/or design help with his project. If he doesn't understand
the classwork, several hours a week of one-on-one intensive help might
get him on track quickly without a whole lot of expense.

I do like the fact that nobody's flaming him here, including me. I
wish Joshua well, and hope he gets all the help he needs.

Cheers
Chris

Well, there are some who seem to continue to ask questions on
'advanced' things without asking for basics first , although that (for
a few posts anyway) is perhaps understandable - they don't know there
are basics underlying the question.

After a few such posts, provided we've explained that the OP might like
to ask very basic questions where we could even point to a resource on
said basics, it does tend to get old.

That said, I didn't see the posts in question (I was netless for a
while on a job - aarrgghh) so I don't know this particular history :)

I think I get more pee'd at poor grammar and spelling than apparently
silly questions - after all, if I can't understand the question,
there's little hope of answering it !

I don't doubt you had no intention to flame :)

Cheers

PeteS
