Thanks William
Thanks William for an interesting presentation
catching up
laws of physics don't bend ?
very nice presentation
AS before wish I here for the live presentation, have played with several 8051 (when Intel was still doing them, Intel, Phillips, Siemens.. ), 68HC series, and Microchip. Some applications had bot 68HC and Pic parts on the same board.
Good presentation. Catching up on archived lessons. Good vendor support and DEV kits on these processors. I like the PIC family, but also use the 8051 and Atmel processors. Also the Motorola 68K Family of processors did a nice job in their time.
Audio seems fine in the archive
Based on yesterdays lecture this should be another good one
Picking Up Day3
Thank you William,
Signing in a little late for the next three classes. I have been sick. I am glad these are archived. Thank you Bill for the presentations.
Thank you Bill, nice presentation.
8x51 architecture what I like - Atmel's 89 series
Programming languages what we are using
: for MCUs- Assembler, C and sometimes C+ .
Hi, slightly late.
@Bill: The Stellaris driver lib is simpler and easier to use to get fast results. It has excellent documentation. It was the crown jewel they got from Luminary.
Their own Code Composer Studio that works at full capcity on their own Eval Boards ir through an XDS 100 is a great strategy that allows you to test the entire range of capabilities of an MCU. The same IDE works across their entire line from MSP430 to the Full Arm Sitarra/OMAP and DSP as well as the Cortex line. It makes it easy to work with and integrate the various libraries into the IDE environment.
Easiest way to see the difference is to buy a Stellaris LaunchPad -- downlaoad the CCS 5 IDE, install Stellarisware and simply try it out.
The differences in sophistication should be obvious.
The ST Library vs Stellarisware is a Model T vs a well appointed, well maintained Ferrari.
Now if only TI could deliver and MCU with Ethernet that is not NRND...
Thank you
Thanks Bill, great to hear about your experience in this field
thanks Bill, good Q&A
Thanks, everyone, for the audio file download advice. I've had troubles with the RealDownloader popping up reliably on the audio player section of the web page. I;ll have to try the download helper plugin.
Thanks Bill!
Well, I think that wraps it up. Thank you for your attention. Remember that all the devices and development tools we discussed today are available online from Digi-Key.
Tune in tomorrow for my contraversial 16-bit presentation.
Bye now!
See you tomorrow!
16-bit has the simplicity of an 8-bit with a register-based architecture. Unlike most 8-bit which are accumulator based.
16-bit is actually my favorite market segment.
16-bit is the compromise of performance and power.
I am curious to see what you will say that might make me want to look at a 16 bit tomorrow.
Are there any other questions?
Bye, Dave!
Bye, Kent!
@DaveWR sounds like you are saying TI's driver librarieds are better than STs? What is ST lacking?
Gotta go. Have a great day all that are left!
Anyway -- really must do some work today. Much to think about.
Cheers and see you tomorrow.
I have the Embest STM32F4 Discovery board (fro Newark) here with the Base Board and the display board -- just starting to test after giving up on waiting for M4 with Ethernet at TI.
Lot of features on the board. BUT! The TI driverl Lib seems far superior to me. The full fledged Code Composer Studio 5.3 is better than most -- and it's "free" -- but I need working hardware first.
Have just got Julia fractal converted to "play" with the board -- so far so good! Will know more in a few days.
Now need to find an IDE I can use. IAR is way too expensive for my humble shop.
Yeah, well Mark, it seems that in the Age of ARM, microcontrollers are commodity parts and easily interchangable.
We can slap a SPI part in and have it up and running quickly.
SHeesh: So the model of the dev board is not as important - I have a project with chip on glass display, differnt hardware to talk to our propritary hardware hardware. THe interface I see is the Kiel debug panel.
The front panel is our shipping hardware and we look at the CPU as an interchangable part. (Don't tell the hardware venders - they get testy about this)
Ah, I see
So the model of the dev board is not as important - I have a project with chip on glass display, differnt hardware for our hardware. THe interface I see is the Kiel debag panel.
@DaveWR - interesting
@mark.browne, which NXP board are you using?
@Bill: Has anyone here switched from an 8-bit mcu to a 32-bit and why?
I used AVR Mega 2560 Arduino etc. It did not have the horse power for multiple sensors. Even TI LM4F120Xl is an issue -- esp. without ethernet.
@Bill: you need to ask some of your questions like whether anybody uses CAN tomorrow when mor people are here.
I see it as keil - we use that for all inhouse stuff. THe programers view of ST/TI/NXP is all about the same. THe NXP dev board has the best hardware and I can run it to a breadboard with minimal effort.
Anyone here using a 32-bit microcontroller that is not and ARM and not a MIPS? Can you tell us what it is?
Keep those questions coming!
@blake Thank you!
The dev kit laying next to my station for trying out ideas is an NXP arm
Interesting. You say it's for "trying out idea". Which NXP deve kit is it, and what features are important to you?
TO answer your "why" question - speed of development.
I have to go. Thank you for the great session today.
I just happened to have Z80s in my stock. I also have 8080s but they are harder to use.
The dev kit laying next to my station for trying out ideas is an NXP arm.
If you can consider the TNT4882 a microcontroller. It's about the only GPIB controller left in the world still in production.
8 to 32 switch question - we have for many of our products. Our older stuff in 8 bit motorola parts, newer is ST arm.
I have a TI cortex project in late stage development.
@Kentj, have you looked at the Zilog eZ80? Code compatible with the Z80 and it's higher performance.
Yes and no. In my bread board I'm using an 8 bit Z80 to control my hardware but the hard model and beyond will be using the PIC32
Anyone here using more than one microcontroller in a project?
Has anyone here switched from an 8-bit mcu to a 32-bit and why?
CAN is too slow too. The slowest on board communications I'm using is SPI at 20Mbps
All ARM microcontrollers are Harvard
I2C and UART
@BillGiovino: So ARM MCU's are harvard or modified harvard? Even Intel/Marvell based?
@Kentj, what communications are slow?
CAN 2.0b runs at 1 Mbits/sec
The PIC32MX700 series has CAN but some communications are too slow.
What is the speed of a CAN network?
Anyone here using CAN networking?
Harvard is more efficient. Now, if you are going to place lookup tables in Flash, a Harvard architecture might hinder your program. Look for MCUs with special lookup table instructions, or Modified Harvard architectrures.
A Harvard architecture uses seperate busses for data and program memory, More complicated, much higer performance, a bit more expensive. All 32-bit MCUs use Harvard architectures
My present project and the next one need USB, Ethernet, and GPIB.
The Von Neuman archtecture has program memory and data memory sharing the same busses. Simpler, less expensive, less performance.
it has built in USB, Ethernet, timers, vectored interrupts, 512K Flash, 128K SRAM (in the mx695, the 675 has 64K) . Also I like the ICD3 and MPLABX.
All inportant features - look at all the networking!
Also the PIC32 has the TQFP foot print. My board layout tool has a problem with BGAs with that many pins.
@Bill, it has built in USB, Ethernet, timers, vectored interrupts, 512K Flash, 128K SRAM (in the mx695, the 675 has 64K) . Also I like the ICD3 and MPLABX.
Got to go!
Very good session/s, Thank you Bill and all participants!
@BillBGiovino: How about effeciency with respect to harvard and von neumann architectures?
@gaun interesting, thanks!
BllGiovino: Easier to learn. I am not compared the cycles of different micro's for effeciency.
Re: code security, Maxim has an interesting tutorial (5522) Industrial Systems Need the Added Protection of Security ICs on their website. This technique pertains to stopping cyber hackers at the chip level.
@Anatolly, yes, PIC16 is everywhere!
Yes. Si4010 is very suitable for battery power applications, especially with a low price.
Also had my hand on PIC16
Assembly is made simpler on a MSP430 with just 27 instructions.
So do you consider the MSP430 instruction set to be very efficient?
@Kentj, what do you like about the PIC32?
@TonyD, those Silabs parts are EXTREMELY low power, aren't they?
My favorite microcontroller now is the PIC32. It was 8 bit but all the ones I'm familiar with have built in EPROMs and I don't have an EPROM programmer anymore.
8051, TI SOC cc1110 and Silicon Labs SOC Si4010
8-16-32 bit and C/C+
VHDL for FPGA, but that's another story
I like assembly and C
Also if anybody wants to peek into their favourite micro's insides you can have a look here http://www.flylogic.net/blog/ for decapped micro's images (Atmel http://www.flylogic.net/blog/?cat=2 and microchip http://www.flylogic.net/blog/?cat=1)
If anyone here is using an 8051, can you tell me which 8051 manufacturer you are using?
(Remember to mention 8051 in your response)
good info thanks
C, ever used assembly
Verilog for hardware design and verification
C/C+ for modeling and functional verification
Assembly and C
32-bit Cortex-M0
It depends. The most suitable, performance and price, is the best one.
What programming languages do you all like to use?
16 bit
@Bill, Pentium 4 and PIC32MX695F512 (Pentium 4 is shorter:)
Cortex M3/Cortex M4/PIC32
What are your favorite microcontroller cores, 8-bit 16-bit 32-bit?
There are couple of them available at www.opencores.org like mips32r, plasma core and some others
Digi-Key has the most extesive inventory of ARM Cortex microcontrollers and development boards available.
thanks for a very interesting link. Time to brush up some security basics
Can anyone share with me the 32-bit cores you have worked with?
Link to the M0 / M4 beast at Newark.
It's different. :-)
@guan, thanks, I'll look at that link later!
That mmight be the closest you get in embedded to fuse CISC(m$) and RISC(M0)
Not sure what Bill would think of that assessment. lol
Well I'd have to take a closer look at the board. But it's strange,the M0 and teh M4 are very different animals.
@BillGiovino Apart from "Low power" which gets thrown around there is also "Security". There was a very interesting article recently about the Atmel MARC4 here http://adamsblog.aperturelabs.com/2013/01/fun-with-masked-roms.html
good session, thanks
If not, it's a RISC
My personal test is to look at bit manipulation. If tyhere is native bit manipulation for bit test, set, clear - and you don't have to do 3 or more instructions to set it up - it's a CSIC.
@Alaskaman66 There is a very good article by Analog devices to select a DSP in the "The scientist & engineers guide to DSP" book you may want to look at.
Thank you DaveWR! I am hoping that he might put some light on it tomorrow?
I was not sure what to expect out of thie week. I am still convinced that I don't know very much...
Maybe I'm still just a good guesser -- sometimes... maybe...
Learned how PIC fits in -- wasn't sure..
What I was getting at is the advantage is development speed during development. I spend my time development and not fighting to get the CPU to do what I want it to do. This for short run products that pushes me to an arm part where it might not make sense from a pure product requirement point of view.
The cost of deveopment can be higher than the BOM of short run products.
@Tariq and @DaveWR, I apriciate your guys comments and questions. I am still a newbie...only since 2009.
Thanks, Guan. Will check it out. Now I need to dive into my text on Digital Signal Processing...
Tariq: I am just a newbie -- have been since the late 60s -- I'll let you know when I learn enough to be worthwhile... lol...
Q: Is there any trend to fuse together RISC and CISC under same roof in some future? As a multi-core approach / implementation to benifit from both sets.
I adapted Slackware for the Board from TriM(?) -- moved it up to Slack 10 later. It was not that important for "Real Time".
I want to connect with you. How to contact you? We can hopefully educate each other a lot ;)
tariq786 (firstname.lastname@example.com)
You can find all the NXP LPC parts at Digi-Key
wow. Thanks. ST & Microchip...
@DaveWR, can you tell me who's linux code did you use for embedded linux on a MIPS?
1 last question for all: Do Freescale (motorola) still entertain the Automotive industry? (something I haven't followed)
Freescale is still in the Automotive industry, but they no longer dominate the industry. ST and Microchip have a lot of Automotive MCU sockets.
@Tariq: Familiar with Raspberry PI... Used Embedded Linux before -- with MIPS even... :-)
It may be possible to do an app in the 8 bit part but the raw power and large registers makes it possible to do prototypeing w/o having to fight with the limits of the CPU. I don't have to worry if the data will fit in the word or messing with multibyte math - it just works.
This is an excellent example of when a 32-bit can be used in an 8-bit socket - more overhead for testing and proto code
Here is one for people:
You can finit a Newark for Example -- is it an SoC -- just an AMP? How difficult would it be to program with/without an RTOS?
It reminds me of the TI COncerto -- Cortex M3 plus C2000
I thought about it for a recent project -- too many questions...
@tariq, yes, SoCs and microcontrollers are the same thing. So is ASSP (Application Specific Standard Product). In general, if it's not useful to search the internet for the term, then the term isn't useful. Nobody searches for SoC or ASSP.
Dude thanks for your comment. I still disagree. YOu should see Raspberry PI to convince yourself that you are powering a desktop out of a ARM core
@Bill: I call shotgun...
(See you tomorrow, and everyone else, too)
Thanks, Bill. That will help as I need a very low power core.
I love EmbeddedSystems!
That should be a bumper sticker!
@tariq @blake thanks, nice to know I'm helping out!
Yes, thank you for taking the time do do this.
When using a 32-bit and looking for low power, is there a key point to look at? You mentioned that "Low power" has become more of a marketing term
Look at the run current, usually spec'ed in uA/MHz, and also examine the sleep modes. If your system will spend a lot of time sleepling, the sleep current will be more important than the run current.
Also look to see how many cycles it takes to respond to an interrupt.
Thanks Bill for such a good Q&A. I really appreciate all questions and answers as they help us learn.
Looks like we are so busy here that not all posts are getting through. If you don't see your post, just re-post!
I found that companies who entertain SoCs are typically planning for future trends, (within their budgets). I'd say its a smart move.
@Tariq: Yep running a cell phone is a small set of what computers can do -- it is a set peripherals specific to a cell phone -- but I would not use the chip to power a desktop. :-)
It uses an RTOS and sometimes even Adroid orIOS and even a Windows subset ith specific enhancements -- but maybe not so good at full windows.
This is one of the areas that makes it hard to decide on what MCU Mp to choose.
When using a 32-bit and looking for low power, is there a key point to look at? You mentioned that "Low power" has become more of a marketing term.
SO a better question could be if SoC can run operating systems like any RTOS, why use MCs to run RTOS? It seems SoC and MCs are becoming the same thing. Please correct me if i am wrong.
Well, to me an SoC (System on a Chip) is just another word for a microcontroller. It's a name that makes things confusing.
I agree with you, tariq. SoC are more diverse, and have multiple functionality; not so systematic...
This might be a good use for a shadow register: Response to fire the halon bottle after a UV sensor detects an ignition source for mining equipment..
Iphone and other cell phones have SoC. They can do many things, audio, video, phone, communication.
I disagree.
but thanks for your comment
In your slide you have mentioned about the Set Top Box focus for STMicro. What is special about this chip? Are there any more focussed chips that I have to be concerned about?
That tells you that ST has a large user-base, which cemets their committment to the ARM market. OTOH it also means that if you live near a set-top box manufacturer you may not get the best tech support because the big company is getting the attention you want.
No you cannot describe RTOS in Verilog or Vhdl.
You can describe RTOS in C/C+
Tariq: I say no -- an SoC is usually task specific.
For math intensive applications (encryption, FFT,MPEG-4 codec, etc) could you use a DSP chip with a smaller MCU?
Yes, or you could use an MCU with a DSP unit on chip, like the Cortex-M4.
QUESTION - In your slide you have mentioned about the Set Top Box focus for STMicro. What is special about this chip? Are there any more focussed chips that I have to be concerned about?
SO a better question could be if SoC can run operating systems like any RTOS, why use MCs to run RTOS?
It seems SoC and MCs are becoming the same thing
Please correct me if i am wrong
Q: could your RTOS be in HDL languages, such as VHDL or Verilog?
Thanks Bill.
Keil and IAR have wonderful development tools. Keil is part of ARM Inc, IAR is the largest and has the broadest portfolio.
@Alaskaman66: You can use the ultra lower power DSP C5000chips from TI
SoC questions: Here is an example.
The TI MSP430F47197 is an SoC for Enrgy use tracking. You need to program its flash and use an RTOS just like any other chip.
Its claim to faim is an SigmaDelta ADC that can read seven channels simultaneously.
Now many tasks for using an RTOS - it depands on the number and compelxity of the tasks. You coulod have 40 simple tasks, or 10 complicated tasks, both could need an RTOS
bill, what about 3rd party development tools manufacturers as keil? they have wonderfull development tools.
No, embedded Linux can't always be called real-time.
Q: How many task would you say would be worth considering using an RTOS for?
@tariq786: RTOS is software, SoC is hardware.
If you are having problems with the designnews.com website - on Windows, unplug your router, go to a command prompt and type
ipconfig /flushdns
then turn on your router.
@rhall007: you're right. I forgot unlike Intel they didn't make both!
@cca028. YOu are welcome ;)
Thank you.
@sherlock: It depends upon how real-time you want Linux to be.
@Sherlock: Some Linux distros can be called Real Time -- bit certainkly not all.
thank you
@tariq786 - good one ;)
And thank you for the compliments, I appreciate the feedback, really!
Thanks Willian A. You did a good job.
Any comparisons of RTOS' online anywhere?
Thank you Jennifer & Bill.
Thank you Bill!
Thank you Bill and Jennifer
Thank you also Jennifer
Very good presentation and thanks for adding the page numbers !
thanks bill.excellent!!
Linux is a real RTOS. I am right?
Gibe me a minute to review your questions...
thanks Bill and Kimberly
Thanks Bill
Thanks, Bill and Jiniffer
Thank you for today's presentation Bill
Thanks, Bill and Jennifer!
what is the difference between RTOS and SoC (system on a chip)?
Good Pres Bill
MazianLab: AMD doesn't make microcontrollers, they make microprocessors.
by OS I meant RTOS!
Agree with you @UART
Please correct me if I'm wrong: you can program your ARM ucontroller with your own written OS! Similar concept as EEPROM?
Revolution??? Someone just woke up...
Yay LINUX!
A possible RTOS alternative -- sometimes...
Thank you Jennifer! Way too many interruptions with useless computer troupleshooting tips (is your computer on, powercycle your router, etc...) and inline questions...
Q: Is there any trend to fuse together RISC and CISC under same roof in some future?
Interrupt on CORTEX TI claims 6-7 cycles typical with tail chaining etc.
@UART: uci = University of California - Irvine
@drw36, thanks going to look at that.
It's interesting AMD is not mentioned here at all! They're falling behind in computation race I guess!
Question: What is the interrupt overhead of a 32-bit MCU ?
Thanks, drw36.
@UART: Not sure about "certifications" but for education update look at https://unex.uci.edu/areas/engineering/embedded/ . I just finished that program. All online.
@Tariq786. Ah, right. Slide 12!!!! Thanks!
What Certifications are out there for Embedded Systems (Software/Hardware Engineer)?
Question: Is there any RISC for ARM? If yes, is it as good as normal RISC?
Thanks, I am communicating at a high frequency. Dealing with real time sensors.
Before arm cores, what were the companies listed on page 8 doing? I believe they had their own Instruction set architecture and implementation for MCs
thanks for your answer.i prefer nxp and atmel.
Does that handle sensors well when you must use UART to send the resulting data wirelessly?
How to choose between different architectures: ARM, AVR32, MIPS .... ?
@tariq786: slides 9 and 10... Google is your friend...
@tariq786 - ARM designs processor cores, and licenses the Intellectual Property of those designs to folks who make devices, those companies on slide 8. Those companies add their peripherals to differentiate their products from others.
in your opinion, what is the best company or companies offering 32bit development tools and support?
Please explain what in reality is MIPS?
What in reality is ARM?
What is the difference between the two?
If dealling with multiple sensor, i.e 8 anolog sensors, should you use 32-bit?
How does the AVR32 architecture that atmel offers weigh in?
In embedded design: When do you consider "faster clock rate" vs "larger word/bit" (ex: 8,16,20, 32, etc)?
You have not discussed ARM? Please explain what is ARM and i believe ARM is not a microcontroller. Why are you bringing ARM into MC?
Maggiesun, the show will be archived immediately following, so you may be able to listen that way.
very logical.jeje.
ST has MCUs with high end stuff...
STM32F407VGT6 microcontroller featuring32-bit ARM Cortex-M4F core,
also some DSP like capability
1 MB Flash, 192KB RAM
in an LQFP100 package
ha ha ha... "helpful" troubleshooting tips (verbally for those who can't get audio)
if they can't hear you, they won't hear these instructions. You might want to type them in.
audio is ok here
@maggiesun: some companies block audio streams. there's not much we can do anything about that
The website is blocked so I cant play the radio. Any dia in number I can use?
How about FFT in 8-bit MCU vs FFT in 32-bit MCU ?.
so, it's performance, not the 32 vs 16 vs 8 bit core... 32 bit cores are generally more powerful...
Offload the math to a DSP chip?
audio is not good here
complex math is a good case for a DSP...
Good day from Huntsville, Al
If complex math or software is the issue, then why not use microprocessor instead of a MC?
It didn't autostart for me (LINUX)
What is the relation bw 32 bit and "high end communications"??? I understand the 32 bit addressing, etc... but why communications?
maggiesun: start at the player at the top of the window
Do you have dia in number?
Had to restart several times
Audio working for me.
Hear you fine
I hear loud and clear.
audio is ok
sorry about the sound everyone - should be fine now.
we hear you Bill
Audio is fine
Finally my audio works.. I had to rload and then log in again
Audio works now. Needed a few extra reloads.
I repeatedly press play/pause numerous times, finally the audio comes in loud and clear. :)
@HSLee Yes and no. It started but even Jennifer doesn't have audion apparently
Can anyone NOT hear me?
Finally got the audio going!
Audio is up.
Finally got the audio working... (server overload?)
Bill, problems with your audio. If you've started there is no sound.
Sound is up
I've got a player, but after "blog talk radio" no sound. Already reloaded the page to effect.
Up now!
Keep refreshing!!
and hitting play
Clicking the 'play' button on the radio doesn't start the audio. Am I the only one with that problem?
My audio finally works
caa028: yes

Thanks a lot for the inquiry. Will have a look into this.
MICROCHIP32-bit Answer: For most MCUs, including the 32-bit PIC32 MCUs, you have to have more than one bank of RAM in order to be able to turn unused RAM off. Since the PIC32s currently all have a single bank of RAM, it's not currently possible to turn off any RAM in a PIC32.16-bit Answer:Microchip does have the ability to selectively power the RAM in sleep with their 16-bit MCUs. This is the difference between the LV-Sleep Mode and the Deep Sleep Mode. This saves a lot of power. LV-Sleep is roughly 300 nA, while Deep Sleep is 10nA with RAM off.
A followup from a question on yesterday about dynamically turning RAM and peripherals on a microcontroller on and off. Microchip and Atmel responded to me:
For both Atmel and Microchip: for peripherals, you can stop the clock to peripherals as well as turn off the power supply to the peripheral.Atmel RAM: "For ultra low power micros users can normally select if they want to power the entire SRAM or parts of it. This is new technology that is rolling out fast now""For peripherals Atmel does clock gating (i.e. remove the clock source to the peripheral) on devices in low leakage processes where switching is the major contributor to power consumption. This includes tinyAVR, megaAVR and AVR XMEGA. For products in denser process geometries where not only switching, but also leakage is a big contributor we have inplemetned power islands for both peripherals and SRAM, example products are SAM7L, UC3L and SAM4L"

@bitbanger: When I hover over the audio player bar in an archived session, SOMETIMES a RealPlayer popup appears to "download this clip". Also, after right-clicking on the audio player bar, one of the selections is "download this video". (ignore the fact that this is not a video) The audio file is downloaded into the RealPlayer library, which allows you to convert it to an MP3 and/or transfer it into an iPod. At least that is what it claims. I just downloaded the audio from Monday, and converted it to MP3. I have not transferred it into aniPod. Obviously this requires the RealPlayer audio plugin to be the default for your browser.

The motion to approve it passed unanimously – Councilwoman Lessie Price and Councilman Dick Dewar were not in attendance but were present during the first reading which was unanimously approved Jan. 28.
The plan is to extend the school's driveway, currently 650 feet in length, by 1,800 feet and add 40 more parking spaces to the school's property located on Chukker Creek Road.
Currently, the traffic during student drop-off and pick-up is spilling out onto Chukker Creek Road and causing traffic to back up. Some residents who live on or right off of Chukker Creek Road said they have waited in that traffic for up to 45 minutes.
Pick-up, which starts at 2 p.m., is said to be the peak traffic time. Approximately 1,800 feet of cars have been seen parked on Chukker Creek Road toward Whiskey Road and approximately 500 feet toward Plantation South, according to Civil Engineer Tilden Hilderbrand.
The school has 852 students and only 10 to 15 percent of them use the bus.
Not much discussion occurred Monday evening. Two residents spoke for the proposed plan.
"Thank you for the unanimous approval of the design for the elimination of the back up on Chukker Creek. I find it to be a useful design," said resident Tony Sealy, who added that the design has been used by other schools and it has helped mitigate their traffic problems.
Another resident said that he's seen motorists try to pass the line of vehicles on the two-lane road, some ending up in the ditch to avoid oncoming traffic. He stated that he wants something done before a serious accident occurs.
Residents living behind the school in the Woodside neighborhood were concerned with the extended serpentine driveway bringing the line of vehicles closer to their property lines.
Hilderbrand said that the closest the driveway would be to the Eastside property lines would be approximately 36 feet and 42 feet to the Northside property lines.
When viewing the original plan that was proposed to the Planning Commission in early January, those residents were also concerned with the lack of tree buffer between their property and the school.
Hilderbrand changed the plan, which originally showed a 10-foot undisturbed buffer, to reflect one that was 25 feet in depth.

Published 3:08 PM EDT Sep 24, 2012
A man and a woman got into "a physical altercation" over what was on their television Sunday evening, state police in Armstrong County said.
Darren Lutheran and Shelli Craig were at home in Pine Township at about 6:40 p.m., and a visitor was watching "SpongeBob SquarePants" instead of the Steelers game, police said.
Nobody was injured during the incident on Rupp Lane, police said.
Lutheran, 43, and Craig, 44, were each cited for harassment via summons from District Judge Sam Goldstrohm's office, police said.

Let's see how Davis does in his first game! It should be fun.
Where:Staples Center.
On the air:TV: Prime Ticket, ESPN; Radio: 980, 1330.
Records:Clippers 39-20: Rockets 38-18.
Record vs. Rockets:2-0.
Update:If the Clippers beat the Rockets, they will own the tiebreaker for home-court edge in the playoffs if they finish the season with the same record. The Clippers have defeated the Rockets five consecutive times at Staples Center, including scoring a season-high 137 points in the Nov. 4 victory in L.A.
Must win.
I hope Jordan protects the paint against Howard and make him fight for his point's. Don't want harden going off like he did tonight's game vs Sac so, I also hope some good D on him.
I don't want to record this game because every time I record a game. we lose.
So will Matt guard Harden & Jamal guard Parsons? Can't have Jamal on Harden right?
Barnes should be on harden....dj and Howard matchup is going to be what to watch....howard can get a lil lazy at times and dj runs the floor extremely well (best at running @ his position) hopefully we capitalize on that. ...also it's easy to get him off his game by getting him in foul trouble. Our guards need to attack him early. Also can't wait to see "GD" go to work (I think we need to re-name him by the way) no more Big baby
I just found out that Howard has a sore knee hmm! DJ should be fine.
Him and Cousins banged knees last night, Dwight went to the locker room but returned to continue playing.
I hope we win this game tonight. Even though the Rockets have been on a tear lately, they are on the second night of a back-to-back and Dwight may still have a sore knee from bumping into maniacal Cousins last night. Perhaps the Rockets will be too tired to put up a good fight. I also hope Clippers can continue their 3-ball shooting and that Matt and Jamal remain hot.
Blake and Chris get into foul trouble every time we play them(5). So we need them to stay out of trouble early in the game.
Wow I can not wait to see this game and big baby inpack !! I think doc will have them ready , clippers win blow out
Big time game any word on the progress of JJ Redick?
If we win this game, we move into third in the west I believe. This is a BIG game, I think Blake will ball out. It will be a high scoring game, but I think clippers get the necessary stops in.the end.
We already beat them down twice this season. Why not do it again?
Who else is excited to see Big Baby in action tonight?
DJ will do just find even if Howard's knee is sore as the last 2 times we beat them shows.
We need to get back to running the offense through Blake. The last two or three games has been very perimeter based. 3's are falling but it's not a sustainable playstyle obviously for a team like ours not loaded with elite shooters like say the Spurs. Also for those that don't know.. Big Baby has a reputation as the Dwight stopper on D.. so he's a HUGE edition for our team considering that we have a good chance of playing the Rockets in round 1.
I'm really nervous about this game cause last few games we only won cause JCross was hitting rainbows from the ceiling. This is an important game, but I'm really scared of this Rockets team, they're been HOT the past 10 games.
Clippers: The Big Baby Edition. haha But yeah he is going to be a great addition for us. I think while tonight is going to be a tough game and it is really important for us, i still think we come out hot and get the W. Rockets on a back to back where they didn't have to play very hard could act the same as playing too hard and being tired.
No, not true. Portland still has a game on us, and even if they lose, we will have one more win than both Portland and Houston but also one more loss, so in reality they are both better off than us.
These are the games that worry me the most. Games that can put us on par or take a spot up, we tend to lose. This game can put us virtually tied with Houston for the 3rd spot so I hope we can pull this off. This will show me that we're over the hump for the last stretch. Good thing though is that we're playing the Rockets who we have defeated twice.
That would put us tied with them. Not sure about the %, but we would be tied with Portland and Houston.
This is a must win. Need to come out with energy and capitalize they are in a back to back game.
The matchup I'm most worried about isn't Parsons / Jamal or Dwight / Jamal, it's actually CP3 / Beverly.
Beverly is an absolute beast on defense, I think probably the best on-ball defender i've seen in the last 5 years.
I'll be worried if Jamal is gaurding Dwight
Can't wait for DJ vs Howard .
I'm not worried about Beverly. CP3 will occasionally beat his man one on one but his main move is the pick and roll. DJ and Blake are great at setting picks and CP3 will be able to get to wherever he wants to go.
We don't have a great perimeter defender so I'm worried about Harden. He just went off last night for 43 points.
Tonight will be a shootout. Hopefully the Rockets will run out of gas from playing last night.
Tied in a sense, but the "bad" way to be tied. I would much rather be 39-19 than 40-20 (which is what we would be). At 39-19 you control your destiny as you have less Ls.
We have the favorable schedule and we still play Portland and Houston (beside this game) one more time. We are in control of our own destiny.
I'll be a this game, so unfortunately my calming presence and blind optimism
will be missed from this thread during this game.
Especially when we get down by 2 in the 1st qtr and Joe starts
throwing a fit.
Am i the only one excited to see Big Baby set some mean screens for Chris. It should be good to see
Can't wait to see Big Baby on the floor tonight. How many minutes do you guys think he'll get?
Time to clinch the season series against these bozos, although I actually respect the Rockets they're good, almost a mirror image of this team.
@cali its all depending on how he produces..... I think doc knows how important this tie breaker is and will study his abilities.
Don't forget to take your pom-poms to the game! We need more than the Clippers Spirit on the floor during timeouts. Especially if we're down. Maybe you can also spread that "optimism" next to the people next to you when they get tired hearing you tell them they're "negative". Boy would I pay big bucks for that....Enjoy the game.
Hell no! They're not anything like us. we can still win if the three ain't falling. The Rockets can't do that judging by our last 2 wins.
It'll only come down to a head-to-head tiebreaker if we both pass the Spurs in the standings. If both us and the Spurs remain leaders of our respective divisions, we already own the tiebreaker over the Rockets by virtue of being division champions. If HOU passes SAS and we don't, then obviously they'll have the better overall record anyway - and vice versa.
If we finish in the 3 and 4 spots behind OKC and SAS with identical records, Clippers automatically get the 3 even if the Rockets win the two remaining games.
Playoff seeding depends much more on our remaining games against GSW and PHX than it does on the remaining two against the Rockets, though of course every win counts.
Jamal and Harden sounds like a great matchup.
Neither play defense at all so they'd probably just keep
running the score up.
Yeah I think you keep Jamal on Harden, don't waste Barnes' energy chasing him around.
PUt your recorder in the gutter, never use it again
hopefully we win today and portland spurs and warriors lose
Guys I think this speaks of great significance. It shows how important JJ Reddick is to this team
It is also the battle to 40 tonight. Team that wins tonight will have 40 wins
Avery Johnson "Man", once a Spur, Always a Spur. I'm getting real sick of this guy, "Now" he pics the Rockets tonight. SMH.
Yea, thanks.
i wouldn't mind seeing what Bullock can do against harden for 3-4 minutes
Guys I think this speaks of great significance. It shows how important JJ Reddick is to this team
That's basically a 2 game difference in a 30 game block.
Noooooo. A rookie on harden that can go off....
Yea I guess. We all still know how important JJ is.
I wonder how many of those games were without J.J and Chris Paul.
^not many, if i remember right JJ came back right as CP went down

The general way to use involves constructing a Vt pipeline structure and adding one or more Vt pipecmd structures to it. A Vt pipecmd represents a subprocess (or ``command )'' while a Vt pipeline represents a sequence of subprocesses each of whose outputs is connected to the next one's input, as in the example ls | grep pattern | less The calling program may adjust certain properties of each command independently, such as its environment and nice(3) priority, as well as properties of the entire pipeline such as its input and output and the way signals are handled while executing it. The calling program may then start the pipeline, read output from it, wait for it to complete, and gather its exit status.
Strings passed as Vt const char * function arguments will be copied by the library.
Construct a new command representing execution of a program called name
Convenience constructors wrapping Fn pipecmd_new and Fn pipecmd_arg . Construct a new command representing execution of a program called name with arguments. Terminate arguments with NULL
Split argstr on whitespace to construct a command and arguments, honouring shell-style single-quoting, double-quoting, and backslashes, but not other shell evilness like wildcards, semicolons, or backquotes. This is included only to support situations where command arguments are encoded into configuration files and the like. While it is safer than system(3), it still involves significant string parsing which is inherently riskier than avoiding it altogether. Please try to avoid using it in new code.
The data argument is passed as the function's only argument, and will be freed before returning using free_func (if non- NULL ).
pipecmd_* functions that deal with arguments cannot be used with the command returned by this function.
pipecmd_* functions that deal with arguments cannot be used with the command returned by this function.
Return a new command that just passes data from its input to its output.
Return a duplicate of a command.
Add an argument to a command.
Convenience function to add an argument with printf substitutions.
Convenience functions wrapping Fn pipecmd_arg to add multiple arguments at once. Terminate arguments with NULL
Split argstr on whitespace to add a list of arguments, honouring shell-style single-quoting, double-quoting, and backslashes, but not other shell evilness like wildcards, semicolons, or backquotes. This is included only to support situations where command arguments are encoded into configuration files and the like. While it is safer than system(3), it still involves significant string parsing which is inherently riskier than avoiding it altogether. Please try to avoid using it in new code.
Return the number of arguments to this command. Note that this includes the command name as the first argument, so the command `echo foo bar' is counted as having three arguments.
Set the nice(3) value for this command. Defaults to 0. Errors while attempting to set the nice value are ignored, aside from emitting a debug message.
If discard_err is non-zero, redirect this command's standard error to /dev/null Otherwise, and by default, pass it through. This is usually a bad idea.
Unset environment variable name while running this command.
Clear the environment while running this command. (Note that environment operations work in sequence; pipecmd_clearenv followed by pipecmd_setenv causes the command to have just a single environment variable set.)
Add a command to a sequence created using Fn pipecmd_new_sequence .
Dump a string representation of a command to stream.
Return a string representation of a command. The caller should free the result.
Execute a single command, replacing the current process. Never returns, instead exiting non-zero on failure.
Destroy a command. Safely does nothing if cmd is NULL
Construct a new pipeline.
Convenience constructors wrapping Fn pipeline_new and Fn pipeline_command . Construct a new pipeline consisting of the given list of commands. Terminate commands with NULL
Joins two pipelines, neither of which are allowed to be started. Discards Fa want_out , Fa want_outfile , and Fa outfd from p1 and Fa want_in , Fa want_infile , and Fa infd from p2
Connect the input of one or more sink pipelines to the output of a source pipeline. The source pipeline may be started, but in that case Fn pipeline_want_out must have been called with a negative Fa fd ; otherwise, calls Fn pipeline_want_out source -1 . In any event, calls Fn pipeline_want_in sink -1 on all sinks, none of which are allowed to be started. Terminate arguments with NULL
This is an application-level connection; data may be intercepted between the pipelines by the program before calling Fn pipeline_pump , which sets data flowing from the source to the sinks. It is primarily useful when more than one sink pipeline is involved, in which case the pipelines cannot simply be concatenated into one.
The result is similar to tee(1), except that output can be sent to more than two places and can easily be sent to multiple processes.
Add a command to a pipeline.
Construct a new command from a shell-quoted string and add it to a pipeline in one go. See the comment against Fn pipecmd_new_argstr above if you're tempted to use this function.
Convenience functions wrapping Fn pipeline_command to add multiple commands at once. Terminate arguments with NULL
Set file descriptors to use as the input and output of the whole pipeline. If non-negative, fd is used directly as a file descriptor. If negative, Fn pipeline_start will create pipes and store the input writing half and the output reading half in the pipeline's Fa infd or Fa outfd field as appropriate. The default is to leave input and output as stdin and stdout unless Fn pipeline_want_infile or Fn pipeline_want_outfile respectively has been called.
Calling these functions supersedes any previous call to Fn pipeline_want_infile or Fn pipeline_want_outfile respectively.
Set file names to open and use as the input and output of the whole pipeline. This may be more convenient than supplying file descriptors, and guarantees that the files are opened with the same privileges under which the pipeline is run.
Calling these functions (even with NULL which returns to the default of leaving input and output as stdin and stdout) supersedes any previous call to Fn pipeline_want_in or Fn pipeline_want_outfile respectively.
If ignore_signals is non-zero, ignore SIGINT and SIGQUIT in the calling process while the pipeline is running, like system(3). Otherwise, and by default, leave their dispositions unchanged.
Return the number of commands in this pipeline.
Return command number n from this pipeline, counting from zero, or NULL if n is out of range.
Return the process ID of command number n from this pipeline, counting from zero. The pipeline must be started. Return -1 if n is out of range or if the command has already exited and been reaped.
Get streams corresponding to Fa infd and Fa outfd respectively. The pipeline must be started.
Dump a string representation of p to stream.
Return a string representation of p The caller should free the result.
Destroy a pipeline and all its commands. Safely does nothing if p is NULL May wait for the pipeline to complete if it has not already done so.
Install a post-fork handler. This will be run in any child process immediately after it is forked. For instance, this may be used for cleaning up application-specific signal handlers. Pass NULL to clear any existing post-fork handler.
Start the processes in a pipeline. Installs this library's SIGCHLD handler if not already installed. Calls error (FATAL) on error.
Wait for a pipeline to complete and return the exit status.
Start a pipeline, wait for it to complete, and free it, all in one go.
Pump data among one or more pipelines connected using Fn pipeline_connect until all source pipelines have reached end-of-file and all data has been written to all sinks (or failed). All relevant pipelines must be supplied: that is, no pipeline that has been connected to a source pipeline may be supplied unless that source pipeline is also supplied. Automatically starts all pipelines if they are not already started, but does not wait for them. Terminate arguments with NULL
Read len bytes of data from the pipeline, returning the data block. len is updated with the number of bytes read.
Look ahead in the pipeline's output for len bytes of data, returning the data block. len is updated with the number of bytes read. The starting position of the next read or peek is not affected by this call.
Return the number of bytes of data that can be read using Fn pipeline_read or Fn pipeline_peek solely from the peek cache, without having to read from the pipeline itself (and thus potentially block).
Skip over and discard len bytes of data from the peek cache. Asserts that enough data is available to skip, so you may want to check using Fn pipeline_peek_size first.
Read a line of data from the pipeline, returning it.
Look ahead in the pipeline's output for a line of data, returning it. The starting position of the next read or peek is not affected by this call.
If the Fa ignore_signals flag is set in a pipeline (which is the default), then the SIGINT and SIGQUIT signals will be ignored in the parent process while child processes are running. This mirrors the behaviour of system(3).
leaves child processes with the default disposition of SIGPIPE namely to terminate the process. It ignores SIGPIPE in the parent process while running Fn pipeline_pump .
You should not rely on this behaviour, and in future it may be modified either to reap only child processes created by this library or to provide a way to return foreign statuses to the application. Please contact the author if you have an example application and would like to help design such an interface.
The simplest case is simple. To run a single command, such as mv source dest
pipeline *p = pipeline_new_command_args ("mv", source, dest, NULL); int status = pipeline_run (p);
is often used to mimic shell pipelines, such as the following example:
zsoelim < input-file | tbl | nroff -mandoc -Tutf8
The code to construct this would be:
pipeline *p; int status; p = pipeline_new (); pipeline_want_infile (p, "input-file"); pipeline_command_args (p, "zsoelim", NULL); pipeline_command_args (p, "tbl", NULL); pipeline_command_args (p, "nroff", "-mandoc", "-Tutf8", NULL); status = pipeline_run (p);
You might want to construct a command more dynamically:
pipecmd *manconv = pipecmd_new_args ("manconv", "-f", from_code, "-t", "UTF-8", NULL); if (quiet) pipecmd_arg (manconv, "-q"); pipeline_command (p, manconv);
Perhaps you want an environment variable set only while running a certain command:
pipecmd *less = pipecmd_new ("less"); pipecmd_setenv (less, "LESSCHARSET", lesscharset);
You might find yourself needing to pass the output of one pipeline to several other pipelines, in a ``tee'' arrangement:
pipeline *source, *sink1, *sink2; source = make_source (); sink1 = make_sink1 (); sink2 = make_sink2 (); pipeline_connect (source, sink1, sink2, NULL); /* Pump data among these pipelines until there's nothing left. */ pipeline_pump (source, sink1, sink2, NULL); pipeline_free (sink2); pipeline_free (sink1); pipeline_free (source);
Maybe one of your commands is actually an in-process function, rather than an external program:
pipecmd *inproc = pipecmd_new_function ("in-process", &func, NULL, NULL); pipeline_command (p, inproc);
Sometimes your program needs to consume the output of a pipeline, rather than sending it all to some other subprocess:
pipeline *p = make_pipeline (); const char *line; pipeline_want_out (p, -1); pipeline_start (p); line = pipeline_peekline (p); if (!strstr (line, "coding: UTF-8")) printf ("Unicode text follows:); while (line = pipeline_readline (p)) printf (" %s", line); pipeline_free (p);

What is up with his elbow? I remember they had to drain the fluid in his elbow last season, and looks like the inflammation is back. Should we be concerned? https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BgpDJ5nIAAAsoTW.jpg:large
http://www.trbimg.com/img-5302559f/turb ... 1/400/16x9
Looks like there was an article about this a couple months ago.
http://articles.latimes.com/2013/nov/27 ... i-20131127
I noticed that one of his elbows looked really swollen during the all-star game. It didn't seem to affect him though.
Didn't seem to but I watch Blake closely and he did grab at it and grimace at it. It did bother him , but just didn't show
It can't help that he had so many high wire dunks during the game. That surely most put a lot of stress on his elbows.
yeah I hope it's not something that will bother him.
Yikes, that elbow looks like it hurts. I hope he gets it taken care of and that it doesn't mess him up while playing tonight against the Spurs.
I think Blake's used to it by now. It's rather hideous but I think it's past the point of bothering him.
Oh my yikes.
That's how my uncles elbows look. He is in his sixities and has arthritis.
Not saying Blake has Arthritis, but whatever it is, it looks serious.
A little elbow bursitis never hurt nobody, as long as it doesn't get infected. Only way to make it go away is rest first, then surgery to remove the bursa sac if rest doesn't heal it. No chance he's doing either till summertime. He can get it drained again/inject it with cortisone until then. He'll be fine.
more cushion for the pushin'

There coming back. Memphis is so close to 6th spot. They need to win this, for confidences and blakes pride. If we want to win blake has to zach, its that simple. He needs to play defense. Paul needs to kill conley. Paul should get like 20 points each game. I'm the biggest cp3 fan, since wake forest. I'm sure he can do it. DJ needs to stop Marc. Marc killed us last season. So really blake and Dj are the xfactors. If they don't play good, we lose. 😪 please make me happy clips
Agree the xfactor to beat Memphis is on Blake and DJ , is all about defense.
Dj is horrible against Memphis. Marc is his worst nightmare
They did before. The real question should be, can the clippers stay healthy against Memphis thug ball
Honestly and I hate to say this,but I do not think we hold onto the 3 spot anyway. If the last 4 games are an indicator, I think we slip pretty far down the ladder. I know we make the playoffs, but I think we slip behind GS with the way we are going so we should be in the bottom with the teams most here do not want to play. We will get OKC or someone like that caliber.
And I agree with JARCA. Staying healthy against that team is really tough for a non-fighting team as we have,we just don't want to brawl first and pay basketball 2nd as the Jizzlies do.
Exactly. We'd beat them, but at what cost?
Ok I'm the least optimistic fan but even I say no way golden state wins the division!
@FightOnRon, what happened? I know they haven't been playing that good lately, but I'm sure they were floating against what was supposed to be crap teams. NO just happened to be playing better ball then a eastern conference loser team, and Clips were trying to mail it in.
I agree that they should be playing with more urgency. The cushion they have is probably a bad thing in terms of playing with urgency.
I don't think we'll fall off that far. In fact I don't see us falling out of 3, catching up to 2 is probably out of reach now. Hopefully we have a good game against Dallas tonight, because if we don't I'll probably be joining your sentiments.
No, JQuick is the least optimistic fan
yes but probably take 7 games to do it
I agree mastaslice... Dj CANT guard marc. I hope we don't face them, in playoffs
Well I'm assuming this year there won't be non-existent defense for 4 straight games like last season, so that should equal winning
Last year when my Dodgers were cleaning everyone's clocks I had a friend (of course a Giants fan) ask me if I was afraid my team was peaking too early. I told him "well I wasn't until now". If you watch baseball you would have seen the leagues 2nd highest payroll team fold like a kite in a high win in the second round. Guess they did peak early.
Someone put the same bug in my ear about our Clippers,they had one heck of a run going and someone asked me that,then all of a sudden we turn into a .500 team. I hope I am just a little emotional and seeing things the wrong way. So far tonight they seemed to have come to play. Right now we are having the fight with Marion and Barnes. I bet it doesn't go our way
I just wanted to note that if we played D the same way Dallas played Blake this game, we would absolutely destroy Memphis' Z.bo and or Marc.
This thread is brought to you by people who can't count. The Count from Sesame Street would be so disappointed.
Look at each game left, for each team. Look at the current records. Count them all up. Be as conservative or liberal as you like. Some of the stuff said in this thread just isn't going to happen.
Nah, Ron... you (or anybody else) can't call us a .500 team based on a 4-game stretch. We've ripped off 14 of our last 16, which is 87.5% by my math.
Truth is, at this point in the season we are what our record says we are... which is a .700 regular season team. We've been playing down to lesser teams, but we won't be seeing them in the playoffs.
There's 9 games left and the Clippers have a 6 game lead on the Warriors. So the Warriors would have to win all their remaining games and the Clippers only win 4 of their last 9. It would be a collapse of historic proportions, but I really don't see it as a likely scenario.
Question is, can the Grizz actually win a game against the Clippers in the playoffs this year.
After last night I would like to remove my previous posts. Our team is back. My math skills are scewed but you have to remember I was in school before even calculators existed (look up slide rules with google and see what we had to use!).
Clips need to figure out how to create one banner that will reflect Pacific Division winners for two years in a row and at least hang it up with he pictures of the guys that are covering the Fakers banners. Since they don't want a permanent one they could make a removable one for us to look at.
I think 0 for 12 night from CP shook a lot of us. That was definitely out of the norm, so I think it shocked some (I was shocked). I know if he had another night like that there are probably some that would want him traded the next season, just kidding hopefully.
I don't know about you guys I have really high hopes for this team, and think that a championship is a very realistic probability. With that said whenever we see in any kinks in the armor I think it's human nature to try to prepare for the letdown. Well hopefully we get a title, I think that would be the best thing to get for Ralph and every Clipper fan (new Clipper fans aren't as deserving but you get to come along for the ride anyways) that has struggled through years, been teased with the Miles Livingston Odoms of the world, been mocked and apologized to for being a loyal fan.
Anyways, yes The Clippers can beat the McGriddles. I'm hoping for us to actually sweep them in the first round, now that would be a statement.
So if I understand ^ ,we end up in 3rd and play Port?
Short answer yes. Long answer Ofc we can.
I re-read that chart and you know what the really cool part is,100% for the Fakers taking a seat! (not that there is a surprise in that)

Thanks Alex. Thank you DN CEC, Digi key for archiving this lecture series.
Thank you Mr. Randy Frank.
Thanks Randy, Alex and Digi-Key.
Thank you Randy, very good lecture.
Hello catching up, currently I have a displacement application and recalling I missed this lecture.
Thanks Randy and Alex for this great lecture!
great sir randy! excellent presentation, i got it...hoping another class to offer sir!
now, i finish the sensor class then going back to another class available in the archived...
thanks again to digikey and design news for this continuing education that allow us, PDH Certificate gainer for our professional development towards today's technology...
thanks to all and goodnight! see tomorrow again...
i am now on slide 12 of day 5 class slide presentation...great!
this will be the last day of class for sensor course of sir randy...now, i am now in slide 2...
i am just downloading the presentation slides lesson of sir randy...
here i am again for day 5 class lesson sir randy...
much appreciated of your lesson, you're educating me alot in advance...thanks...
Thank you Randy
Thank you Randy & Alex for informative Class.
Hi from OR
Other than that, it was great and very informative. Thank you Randy and Alex for another great presentation. Looking forward to the next one.
A few constructive criticisms: it would help to follow along if the slide number was listed on the slide (though I know that Randy wasn't planning on calling out the slides by number) and it would've worked a little better to have the presentations in .ppt format instead of .pptx (some of them gave me a lot of trouble cause my poor old Office 2002 was having trouble translating).
The ranges for the Sick DL100 Hi are a bit confusing to me. It has up to a 0.1 mm resolution with a +/- 2 to 3 mm accuracy?
At some companies, the 20,000 psi is referred to as a medium pressure sensor. I don't think that I have dealt with anything higher than that.
Hello all.
Thanks Randy.
I found out where to get a lot of unusual sensors I was looking for. Previously, I could not find sources at price points acceptable to clients.
Great presentation, Randy. I've got a lot of catching up to do on new sensors, but you have given me a good start. Thanks for spending so much time on this.
Great Lecture, Frank....I have learned some advance and latest procedures
Good presentation and follow up to microcontrollers and preface to industrial control ...
MEMS is an exciting topic. I am glad you got to at least begin to touch on sensor technologies in this the last presentation as I find that most fascinating (and useful in terms of 'being one with the design').
Oh, one more thing, I don't think Randy put it into the notes, but to reach Kaman Precision Products on the Web (SMT9700 and tons of app notes): www.kamansensors.com
Thanks for the great presentation, Randy (I had to view this in archive..) and thanks for the mention of the Kaman 9700. I'm an engineer at Kaman and I'd be happy to answer any questions on our products or eddy-current technology. I can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Nice session today and great track on sensors - thanks Randy!
Thanks! Randy, Attenders, Moderator for all the information.

Sensirion has good humidity sensors
1 kHz cystal was available 2 days ago there: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=447119529
Thank you very much for this week!
Thanks Randy for sharing you knowledge and experience!
Thank again Randy.
Everyone have great weekend.
where can I find a 1kHz crystal? I could do some serious underclocking with that :-)
That's going to do it for this week's tutorials for me. Thanak to everyone for attending.
But what is the flow we are talking about in these sensors?
Liquids such as water, gasoline, hydraulic fluid, etc.
I specifically remeber them adressing purified, deoniozed and plain water. I'Based on being on the outside of the pipe, it should work with a variety of fluids. Yuo will hav eto explore yourself, but here is the link:

EugeneM/Randy: how about a 1KHZ crystal?
some of those you'll also find at sparkfun et al.
Randy, regarding vibration sensing, do you know of any good sensor (even at the hobbyist level) that can detect when a car has started?
Thansk Randy for the hard work on great presentations.
Thanks Alex for keeping us in a straight path.
Are these pressure sensors suitable for a pressure wave detection or a sound sensor (a microphone) is a better choice?
I would think based on the specifc design and target appliucations of the sesnors I showed for wave detection, a micorpohne might be a better starting point. There are quite a few new MEMS based products.
OK, folks, thanks for the company, Until nest time, have a nice weekend.
Thanks for all the info. Randy.
Another good presentation!
Good explaination
Repeatability has to do with just the reading. Reproduceability has to do with the set-up as well. such as in 4-wire resistance measurements and getting the test leads in the same exact position each time.
Any recommendatoins on humidity sensors?
As someone else has suggested Honeywell makes a sensor you should consider
Omega alos has humdity sensors even wireless devices (UWRH-2)
Manufacturer websites are fountains of knowledge for their products...
does anybody have a rough number on how expensive something like the os5100 is?
I am trying to come up with a flow meter for applications that are much larger, where the environment is irregular such as irrigation ditches. They are irregular surfaces that change over time and the environmental factor is highly variable. Running the water through a pipe is not an option. A large structure that is permanent is not an option. The flows range from 0 to floods but precision is in tenths of CFS. Are there flow meters that utilize the doppler effect to measure rate and calculate over an irregular channel using ultrasound or laser or some similar technology?
I haven't explored an aplication like this myself, but I do seem to remember a company promoting a rather uniques sensng technolog, it could have used a Doppler effect, I can't provide any better thoughts at present.
Hi all.
Thanks, Randy. You covered a lot of good stuff. :-)
THanks for the very useful presentations
Well now with Chrome I got audio. I lost last 8 slides. It was very interesting lecture
Randy. What is the difference between repeatability and reproduceability?

Thank you for the presentation
no audio issues in firefox (behind corporate firewall)
refresh your page - F5
Audio is gone.
Sounds wasn't working for me in Firefox, but is fine in Chrome. Not sure why
better then
I think i may have to listen to only archive of this lecture. Since I lost audio totally.
check your network then
NDE is sometimes known as NDT, non-destructive testing.
NDE is non-destructive evaluation
I reloaded, but no effect
What is NDE?
yes, eddy current very accurate, is used for NDE finding pitting, cracks and wall loss.
I had to reload to get sound
Apparently, it's a font thing.
I had to switch to a different browser to get sound
0.5 raised to the power of 0- the "0" is degrees (temperature) in my world
Thanks Tony H.
I lost audio as well!
Got it. Thanks Schmiedl and Zwilrich.
Ran - this is refering to degrees and not an exponent
@Ran that's a degree symbol .... 0.5 degrees per hour
Slide 14 - What's the 5 raised to the power of 0 about?
That's 0.5 degrees per hour.
Audio is lost for me?
Ran: 0.5 degrees per hour
Correction: 0.5 raised to the power of 0...
does piezo sensor for vibration see primary frequency only or harminics and mixed frequencies?
It sees whatever is within its bandwidth.
@danlafleur - harmonics are very small
I am cut off in the middle
Just thinking ahead.
What is Free flowing technology and flow range?
Free flowing: nothing in the flow path to restrict flow (such as a turbine)
Flow range: G/m=gallons per minute
@j.wagenaar - chek the MSP430, the RF section
Is there a short range wireless interface that you can use between a sensor and a mcu or daq unit?
I was cutoff for a few seconds and had to reload page.
@snandu13 - Also make sure you look at the spec for accuracy over time or drift.
The conductivity unit is micromhoes
@snandu13: You have to study the manufacturer's data sheets. Each one does it a different way.
@zwirlich - the easiest is to poin to a plastic case chip (cold).
kevinJam: yes, that should "always" work. Use a sensor able to deal with the physics of the situation and package it with a dedicated MCU/DSP, voila, you got a smart sensor with linear output
What's the comparator theory and circuit for magnetic sensor? How 3D be handled?
What is the level of Hysterisis on the measurement in both temp and pressure sensors? Measurement during increase an decrease of measurement parameters . Does accuracy take into account of this hysterisis?
schmiedi : Some kind of Gain scheduling computation?
good 'ol turbines...
by paint, do you mean a reflective like a glossy paint, or a flat ?
Flat is better although it doesn't make a lot of difference. Color doesn't matter much either (in infrared most organic-based materials are black.) But overall, a flat, black paint is best. I've even used electical tape when I didn't have any paint.
My personal preference is to use a turbine flow meter - Less sensitive to the type of fluid being measured and can be compensated for fluid density and temperature. Just need to make sure that there are measures taken to minimize turbulence prior to the turbine.
thanks danlafleur
kevinJam: if all else fails: in software :-)
For wide range measurements how do you maintain linearity?
Oh. relating to life of the sensor.. Thanks for clearing zwilrich, tony
for note
Hello all and happy Friday. Some of us have a long weekend :-)
@caa028: Microphones will work well for your application.
Rayaz - Pressure Cycles refers to a life specification. Typically tested by cycling the device between 0 and FS range.
Does Pressure Cycles corresponds to delay needed to measure pressure??
No, it's how many times you can cycle the pressure before the sensor fails from metal fatigue.
do you have a reference for the technical note your talking about?
how acurate are the non contact thermometers ?
A wrong setting of emissivity gives you a wrong value for temperature. Cheap systems assume an emissivity of 0.95. Better systems let you set the emissivity. One trick is to put a spot of paint on the surface you are measuring. Most organic materials have an emissivity close to 1.
Sorry I'm late! Lunch ran long.
@snandu13, "sweet spot" = center of operating range
Thanks Zwilrich. I was looking into a passing bullet detection with an array of sensors...
"sweet spot" == optimal operating range
Are these pressure sensors suitable for a pressure wave detection...
It depends on the amplitude. For example, microphones work well for detecting the pressure wave from a bullet passing over. For large explosions, you need a pressure sensor.
I have a IR therometer "gun" for about 40 USD claiming 1°C accuracy
Temperature sensor gun-type enclosure takes into consideration potentially damaging effects of radiation being emitted from surface, even though just surface temperature is being measured?
Thanks Zwilrich
Can you please define "sweet spot"?
how reliable is barometric measurement to determine height over ground over 1h, 2h, 4h?
How does non contact thermometer work?
The cheaper ones look at the intensity at a single IR wavelength. The more expensive ones look at the intensity at two different wavelengths.
Hi all
How does non contact thermometer work? Is it based on colour of the temp sensing through infra red rays? I am always perplexed on the concept.
I used the MLX90614 Temperature Sensor to make a UV optical pyrometer. It worked well and was easy to use.
