Hi

@Dean Hi
How are things?
11:50
Good, what about you?
Yeha I'm good.

Can someone explain to me why the current flows as shown in the left diagram? I thought it would flow like it does on the right one that I made i.imgur.com/29Jd5aG.png
I'm thinking the only way that would happen is if the current of V1 is much bigger than V2, but it doesn't say that anywhere in the example
I now see that later on they show V2 = .5*V1, so if V2 = V1 the current would flow like the diagram on the right?
ahh, now it shows that I2 should be flipped the way I have it. But they still have the original I3. Can someone explain that?

@ZachSaucier When you're doing a circuit analysis, you can just make an initial guess about the current direction. If you guessed wrong, when you solve the circuit you'll just get a negative number for that current.
mmhm
but I'm asking why is the direction of I3 the way it is?
@ZachSaucier You can't tell whether it is or isn't until you know the voltage source values and resistor values.
Once you know that, you might find out that I3 is -1 A, for example.
then you'll know it's actually going the other way.
alright, thank you :)

OK, now my question.
Say I have 1-5 MB of data in an FPGA, and I want to get it out to a PC over an ethernet connection as quickly as possible (say, in less than 1 s). What kind of uP/uC and what interface to the FPGA could make that happen?

/me shrugs. Probably a 10Mb/s ethernet interface won't cope 5MB in under a second.
@jippie Let's not assume I'm limitted to 10M ethernet.
And also I realize if I have, say, 100M ethernet, I'm not going to get more than maybe 50 Mb/s. Or maybe 5-6 MB/s. But how can I make the ethernet be the bottleneck, and not the interface between the FPGA and whatever's controlling the ethernet?
OK, it might work if you push it a bit
Not really familiar with FPGA's. I wish I had a nice idea for a project so I had a reason to dive into the matter

can somebody visit plxtech.com and let me know if you are able to connect?
