1176 REV F-G & D what differences? help wellcome thanks

Morning guys ,

OK any can start from meta , and then read 10,20,30,40 pages ,
but who have around 1,2,3,4,5,6.... hours to spend about?

then after READ 10,15 pages....and not found that need ,
better ask to someone !!

FOR THIS REASONS ARE CREATED AND EXIST THE FORUMS!

OTHER WAY IS:
TAKE THE METAS AND : in the first and second page condense the most important infos (pcb,bom list,parts supplyers, link , and latest important update thread relatives,.....)

BUT as said by other members you can also not reply to question .

KEEP IN MIND NOT ALL ARE : electronics engineers.

nothing personal
and fre beers for all .......(hope a beer truck be sufficient.....) :sam: :sam: :guinness: :guinness: :sam: :guinness: :sam: :guinness:

Probably 10 - 15 pages filled with all the same questions asked by people who did not search before asking...
No offence ment but do you see the pattern emerge?

You speak about forums in general, well...this place is different and we want to keep it that way. This place encourages people to learn and is packed with usefull info. Please people, before you start a project which is new to you, read ALL you can find about it on this forum and..Yes, this probabely means reading for 1,2,3,4,5,6 hours but it WILL save you 1,2,3,4,5,6 hours troubleshooting your project when you fucked up due to a lack of knowledge.

First, please read this. While it originates in a somewhat different culture, many of the points apply here as well.

I don't mean to sound elitist or anything, but that's the 'cost' of DIY. You don't buy a prebuilt unit where someone else has done all the legwork, you need to invest the time yourself to understand the project you're interested in. That's also one of the major rewards of DIY -- ending up with an unit that you understand. Note that it has been pointed out before that DIY is usually not cheaper than store-bought, even if your time is free.

If you've read one of the longer project-centered threads, you'll have noticed that a significant number of posts to those threads ask about issues that have been addressed before. Wouldn't those threads be shorter (and easier to digest) without all the repeats?

Besides, as SSLTech has pointed out, this particular question (and several others which have been posted lately) could have been answered by less than five minutes of searching, either on Google or here on the forum.

If you were to compile such a list I am sure that the moderators/meta-maintainers would be happy to include it or link to it. Keep in mind that parts lists are a moving target: inventory changes, suppliers change, and a Mouser/Digi-Key parts list that was accurate last year may not be this year. And what do you do when parts are on a 26-week lead time?

[and several projects are pretty well documented as it is, particularly mnats' 1176 pages]

This is a great idea, because there is a lot of re-inventing the wheel around here. Many people do condense their findings for others, but it is time-consuming work.

Since you are just starting off, you are in a perfect position to condense the information you find for others who don't want to read threads that seem to go on for hours. Will you please consider doing this for the 1176?

I have done something similar for the revision D 1176, compiling calibration info, a parts list, and a link to the original how-to-build pages.

ScrapBook is your friend. You can look for your topic in a 150 page thread in about 5 seconds.

You can also help yourself by posting 1176 questions in the "All Things 1176" thread.
