@IanTompkins I'm saying this to not confuse you, you're not at fault here
Oct 10, 2018 16:04
(not the topic itself but the closure of your question)
Oct 10, 2018 16:03
@IanTompkins Just to inform you, this is a matter of discussion among us mods, we are sorting it out
Sep 21, 2018 14:43
@Passerby WRT that post, honestly (I may be wrong) I see more a dispute between the two of you than a personal attack. Perhaps you could just ignore each other
Sep 21, 2018 14:36
@Passerby same for me, I didn't get the ping, sorry...I'm not up to date but I'll check

if you want we can talk again later
Nov 22, 2017 13:42
k back to work
Nov 22, 2017 13:41
again, that is my opinion but could help you understand the criticism
Nov 22, 2017 13:41
otherwise it's just 'because'
Nov 22, 2017 13:41
that accuracy is necessary only if you need it
Nov 22, 2017 13:40
and also as experiment
Nov 22, 2017 13:40
I mean as analog S&H
Nov 22, 2017 13:39
not arguing, but consider it
Nov 22, 2017 13:39
it's 0.25%, it seems a little too much for a didactical example
Nov 22, 2017 13:39
anyways, I've just read the 250ppm bit
Nov 22, 2017 13:39
yes I think it would be great
Nov 22, 2017 13:38
with practical evidence
Nov 22, 2017 13:37
that would really stand well as an independent answer
Nov 22, 2017 13:37
I'm glad you got a solution, I'd encourage you to post a new answer if/when you try to implement one
Nov 22, 2017 13:35
it's not bad per se indeed, but try to use some moderation
Nov 22, 2017 13:35
but to do both with 5 answers is a bit over the top in my opinion
Nov 22, 2017 13:34
anyways, I followed Andy's suggestion and merged the answers, it's true that one can post multiple answers, and that you can answer your own question
Nov 22, 2017 13:33
@JohnyRadio you're inferring :)
Nov 22, 2017 13:29
anyways, if you talk about economically disadvantaged and no coding, why would you propose creating an ASIC?
Nov 22, 2017 13:28
sure it clarifies the reason why you don't want a uC
Nov 22, 2017 13:27
to me, the message of the question as stated would be that the easiest solution goes through digital storage
Nov 22, 2017 13:26
but there are better ways and worse ways
Nov 22, 2017 13:26
and encouraged
Nov 22, 2017 13:26
critiquing is acceptable of course
Nov 22, 2017 13:25
if you add unstated constraints or 'undermine' otherwise valid answers because they don't fit your mindset, you discourage people from helping
Nov 22, 2017 13:24
but understand that answers are not just for you, and are meant to be useful to other people as well
Nov 22, 2017 13:23
I understand it can be frustrating, and I've dealt often with this kind of reaction
Nov 22, 2017 13:23
I think that you asked a fair question, and it wasn't nice that you got 'bashed' regarding using a microcontroller
Nov 22, 2017 13:22
"you don't offer any math or estimates on how long, or how much loss, relative to the size of the cap, so that's not so helpful."
Nov 22, 2017 13:21
"
Hi Trevor, thx for info. But, the SE "what to ask" and "what not to ask" pages emphasize practicality. This answer does not seem to offer an actionable analog solution. "
Nov 22, 2017 13:20
"This answer seems to get most votes for the fun photo. There are practical solutions getting pushed down by this answer due to a fun photo"
Nov 22, 2017 13:20
"i appreciate the info in this answer, but i'm confused by all the upvotes-- it does not seem to contain an analog solution"
Nov 22, 2017 13:19
"attitude"
Nov 22, 2017 13:11
I think that attitude won't get you much help and appreciation from other users
Nov 22, 2017 13:11
besides, some of them go against the constraints you put when you received the first answers from other users
Nov 22, 2017 13:10
the reason I've grouped our answers was because some of them were just abstract ideas and not really worth to be considered as answers
Nov 22, 2017 13:09
@JohnyRadio I'm sorry you got it this way, but the whole question/answer is becoming noisy and unuseful
Nov 22, 2017 13:08
How would you go for recharging the capacitor? You're better served by using a uC then
