    I think I have some of those parts!

    i found the problem. the voltage should be sqrt of -1V not sqrt of 2.

    I think it's not working because the arduino has over complicated it tongue.gif

    I think you divided by zero some where in there. tongue.gif

    You might want to hook up a scope to the squirrel. Thats where I find most of my problems. They just do not make them like they used to...

    I want to buy one, please let me know when the board has been laid out.

    Best schematic I have seen in a long time.

    I think it would look good on a T-Shirt.

    Do you happen to have the datasheet to that 666 timer?

    That's a classic! The electric eel needs a filter cap, though, to keep the voltage from ... uh ... wiggling.

    What this one?

    I don't see any easy way to simplify. The answer is less then 2 ohms.

    mctrivia, you need to set up a system of equations in six or seven variables to solve that. It's designed to be hard to simplify, but the right algebraic trick will work it right out. I'd do it but I have actual problems to solve that aren't made up to tease me.
