It is not about it interfering with your own product, it's about everything else it interferes with! --- End quote --- I only didn't include the filter in the first place because I didn't know the amplifier would interfere with anything. Now that I know it might, I'll include it in future designs. |

--- Quote from: Starlord on July 14, 2016, 12:49:22 pm ---It's funny how the moment I mentioned I'm trying to make a meager, VERY MEAGER, living at this all the hate began to spew forth. Nobody cared when they thought I was just doing it for myself. --- End quote --- --- Quote from: Starlord on July 14, 2016, 01:44:58 pm ---Right now, it's this, or work retail, and I'm earning more money doing this than I would be working for minimum wage. --- End quote --- Its one or the other, you keep trying to walk this line of need when you actually have a self interested want. This isn't the business for you, most startups fails and most of us would have taken on plans we couldn't complete, its the nature of exploring and inventing but you have to accept that you don't always get the positive outcome. You've backed yourself into a corner with promises for delivery and taking payment for a "product" that doesn't work, and thats your real problem. You've learnt a lot in the process but as my posts have mentioned already, you won't find free and easy solutions to your problems, it needs going a long way back in the design process and starting again. --- Quote from: Starlord on July 14, 2016, 01:44:58 pm ---Having no money all the time is stressful to be sure but I wouldn't be any better off in a dead end job, and I think in another six years I might be able to grow this into a sizable business, if I can just get over this hill I've been pushing this boulder up for so long. --- End quote --- So you'd still like us all to subsidise your business endeavours with free consulting. |

I've been a failure for 17 of them. Most startups fail? Every startup fails... until it succeeds. Designing electronics is the first somewhat successful business venture I've had. And yes, I consider it a success, even if I'm only barely earning a living, because barely earning a living working for myself doing something I love is a thousand times better than barely earning a living making someone else rich while doing something I hate. But aside from that, I can now actually see my business growing. Especially in the last year, after several manufacturers targeting agile business models popped up specializing in small runs of PCBs. It only took LadyAda ten years to grow her company into a $33M juggernaut. There's no reason I can't do the same. :box: --- Quote ---So you'd still like us all to subsidise your business endeavours with free consulting. --- End quote --- Do you do this professionally? Do you watch Dave's videos? Do you learn anything from them? How dare you! You know in all my days, I have never seen a software developer refuse to help another software developer because they were doing it for a living. We actually have conferences where people go to give free advice to their direct competitors. In fact you might have heard of this little thing called virtual reality, and a guy named Palmer Luckey? Maybe you've also heard of John Carmack, creator of Doom and rocket scientist? Well Palmer's business, the one that just got bought out by Facebook for hundreds of millions of dollars, only took off because John decided to take him under his wing, and then Gabe Newell at Valve software did the same. To no benefit of them I might add. Aside from the fact that they wanted to push VR in their respective industries. I wouldn't refuse to help someone just because I knew they were making something to sell. And frankly if that's your attitude, I'm not even sure why you're here, because I'm sure a good half of those here requesting assistance have at some point sold something they made, or work in the industry. |

Some of us don't care, and I for one as a contractor am offended at your approach to the industry. I get paid to produce designs for people, that are delivered in a certain timeframe and with a certain price. You're coming along and trying to provide a product without the ability to do so, and now want free help so you can complete on time and on budget. Its not just some experimenting and learning (as most of the contributed work on this site is) you want free advice which other people would pay for, so you can bid lower on offering designs/products and make a profit for your self. We get nothing out of this transaction unlike all the wonderful projects explored here at the expense of dedicated hobbyists who both take on and share experience about the project that we can all learn from. There are other people on here that make wildly narrow requests obviously for their paid employment and they don't get help from me, a friendly pointer or assistance but not the laid out designs they are fishing for. On that note it is amusing to watch the complicated solutions which get posted to these threads. You put it best yourself: --- Quote from: Starlord on July 04, 2016, 02:45:56 am ---"Sorry, I'm gonna need another $500 and another year to design a new revision because I made a mistake in the present design. It works well enough for your needs, but I can't in good conscience sell this to you in its present state. It's not dangerous, but this guy on the EEVBlog forum said it was bad design and I'm a bad engineer." --- End quote --- Though we'd replace the end of the sentence with something more like: "It works well enough for your needs, but I can't in good conscience sell this to you in its present state. It's not dangerous, but its unlikely to work reliably and might interfere with other things around you which would put me in legal trouble" All the time you spend here is time you could have spent debugging your problems.
