If you have 8 bi-color (red/green) LEDs (and assume that yellow is off-limits because it's a cheap piece of poo poo from China and green is weaker than red so red+green=red) and you need to indicate a percentage change from, say, -3% to +3%, where -1%-+1% is the most common swing (think stock market) how would you do so?

Sigmoid and 1-sigmoid for outputs green and red and offset/scale it so that your poorly defined sample space is in it and it isnt just red all the time

when I was a kid I took a class with fpgas and I was really impressed by how gross the hdl was (can't remember which)

when i moved schools I was really excited because they used the other one and I assumed that there was no way it could be as bad as the first

i was wrong as heck . i do software now

this is the rare situation in my work where power and size don't matter and cost definitely does not matter our current solution is like $200 per unit and we wouldn't bat an eye at hundreds of dollars per unit for a gigE thing

what kind of signals are you creating that can't just be buffered and sent like normal data?

i've been wondering for a long time why all your projects seem to be a brutal combo of gotta-go-fast and incorporate-a-pc-in-the-middle-for-some-reason

i used to work at a company that tried to break into that market with zero understanding of the context

they had the wherewithal to buy an s-mparameter machine but ran out of steam before anyone figured out how to use it (but after they had already ordered a shitload of fancy coax and connectors, of course)
