    OK, designing with FPGA's. The vendor has people that design the chips (Xilinx and others). I write in a language that lets me tell the vendors tools what I want the device to do and those tools create a programming file to configure the chip with what I want it to do. I have been doing this...

    I absolutely love what I do (FPGA design https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field-programmable_gate_array) but I'm not particularly thrilled with my current employer.

    Rear end thunk on acceleration from a stop. It's the axle slip joint, not the diff. and not the U-joints. As you stop the rear brakes cause a little bit of axle wrap, the slip joint extends to compensate then sticks there. When you accelerate, the axle tries to wrap the other direction and...

    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    I was having trouble getting enough air for the plasma one day and discovered that the sintered outlet filter on the moisture trap was coated with oil and greatly reducing air flow. Hosed it down with carb cleaner and all is well. Hadn't cleaned it in the 7 years I've had the compressor.

    @UNSTUCK .. after looking at your melted filler and weld puddle I'm wondering if you are keeping too long of an arc and/or too far off of 90* with the torch angle. Low angle will send the heat in the direction you are pointing (typically toward your filler) and long arc tends to heat up a...

    I'm no pro, but I'm more suspicious of your amps, definitely too cold on the right side and you nearly burned through on the left from moving too slow.
