XKCD weighs in on electronic circuit design/building..

[Jonathan in Hiram]

Any resemblance to a brushless, sensorless controller entirely coincidental.. :lol:

i always suspected his characters were drawn with pcb cad software, now we know.
yeah, the magic smoke fuse comes with every controller as do the solder blobs.
'hire someone to open & close switch real fast' would solve the collossus problem.
the 'omit this if you're a wimp' jumper across the 240 VAC, he must be buddies with LFP.
there's a flux cap in there for doc altho the speed limit should have been 88.

another movie reference the arena; two electrons enter, one electron leaves, that's the best one.
and the ground point to 'bury deep, but not too deep', is that from ghostbusters?
don't get at all what the shorted inverter/XOR chip means.
if someone could clu me in, is that for melting the hot glu ?
(the 500V vibrator also sounds like a luke thing).

LOL hell yeah

why get all cryptic with schematics…it should be clear as day… and chicks will dig the cute factor LOL

I dare someone to try to calculate the resistance of that 1ohm mess of resisters.

I dare someone to try to calculate the resistance of that 1ohm mess of resisters.

0.74786135 ohms.
might be off a little on the last decimal.
just a kwiki calc off the top of my head. :wink:

 

[Thud]

whats the spec on the fishing bobber coming off the majic smoke fuse?....may be the missing linc LOL.
this thing really cracked me up this morning.

 

[amberwolf]

I think I may have worked on one of these...getting parts was a real problem. :lol:
