You can always go away.
I don't mean off the forum, I just don't have the time of day for people with attitude.
I don't want to argue with the likes of you, I just want assistance. If you are loathed to give it then we're simply not a match, and you're wasting my time as much as you think I'm wasting yours.
I want to learn electronics, but only within the scope of my projects. This is not actually a project, just a problem I've got to solve with the design element of someone elses equipment and I just thought I might learn something with solving it.
Many on here will be electronic engineers, I assume. I'm not, my work is with computer maintenance, and I also work with engines. The engine element is what brought me to electronics as I do a lot of software disassembly for the ecu's I tune, and I recallibrate the fuelling tables etc for performance.
I hope it doesn't dissapoint anyone to say that I don't want to be a fully fledged electronics engineer, I have a lot of respect for you all, and it might be where my interest is, but unfortunately it isn't where my expertise is. Im sorry that's causing difficulties.
I turned to electronics because it had the potential to solve a few control options I was going to face. I could have done it with pneumatics and valves, but I thought getting to grips with this would give me more scope for the future. problems I might face tomorrow. I'm not a quick learner. This forum has been a good aid.
Anyway, heated discussion is not what I came for. So like I said last post, keep your thoughts to yourself. You can think of me what you will, but I'd prefer them private.
You arn't a teacher, and yo arn't paid to teach. You are only obligated to write, or contribute what you want.
You don't have to help with the simple stuff, so I don't see why it bothers you so. Going away is a perfectly good option, it'd help us both (and avoid the row).
If this forum is ill designed to get assistance, then so be it. I'll get over it. But rudeness will just get it ignored because it's just daft and childish.
Like I said before, I'd rather not have an answer because people don't want to answer such a simple concept, than have to deal with a group of grouchy electronics enthusiasts who can't contain their manners.
Ideally, someone would help, and this discussion wouldn't be here. But it's okay if it's not to be, i'll get my information somehow. It's not the end of the world kid.
The real shame is I've just lost faith in what I thought was a good forum. I have integrity I don't blame the forum for you, but it does put a damper on the atmosphere. Well done.
Anyway sorry for the long and heavily edited post, I try not to let unpleasantries get to me, I try to be balanced but being honest this attitude has knocked me off my horse a bit, I thought we were okay here so I'm more taken aback than 'pissed orrf'.
Oh well. I suppose I could've met you in the street.
