My feeling are pretty tough. A few negative comments will not even register. What does register, like an earthquake, is any comment that could be taken as derogatory. It is easy for those with knowledge to speak to a less knowledgeable person in a way that the less knowledgeable feels slighted. Also, it should be remembered that all the standard electronics measuring tools may not be available to non-electronics person. Short curt answers or questions often lead misunderstandings. Maybe we all should all watch how we say things.
Post #28 doesn't seem to address measuring loss across the switch. The attachment to the original post shows a switch. FYI; Switch resistance, voltage loss across the switch was determined and accounted for.
If I have said that I will follow, or have followed, the direction given, why is assumed that I haven't?
If I say that I know nothing, then indicate that I know a little about one thing, is that sufficient reason to assume that I’m completely knowledgeable in the subject.
If I say resistance and someone else says voltage drop, isn't it likely that we are talking about the same thing but each using a language, or term, that is familiar to them.
I apologize to everyone for getting off subject. I really do know very little about electronics, and it is sometimes frustrating when thing seem to get buried down in details that I don't understand.
I said that we had 0.2v unaccounted for. By that I meant that the voltage loss in a particular area was higher than expected, or calculated. I also said that we were checking the ATTiny85 coding. That in itself indicates that it appears the unaccounted voltage loss may be the FET not being fully on, duty cycle less than 100%.
Thanks danadak, So that number isn't of real importance in this application?
Again, I apologize.
