--- Quote from: CatalinaWOW on October 20, 2016, 12:42:58 am ---I would consider extending the temperature conversion table to cover temperatures found worldwide. -40C to 60C would cover ski areas and northern Europe, while getting most of the automobile in the sun temps. The five deg C resolution is appropriate. If you need tighter you go to your calculator or a bigger table. --- End quote --- Yep I was looking at that and thinking maybe it's a bit inadequate. Many have said the Tantalum table is useless, and probably so, although I always forget the A/B/C/D package to metric conversions. |

--- Quote from: CatalinaWOW on October 20, 2016, 12:42:58 am ---I am sure there are many opinions on this, but the only imperial scales I use with any frequency are tenths, eighths, quarters. Sixteenths occasionally. Thirty seconds and sixty fourths never. Same for twentieths and fiftieths and hundredths. --- End quote --- Yep, I was thinking of dropping the 64th and 50th as they are too small and maybe the the 0.5mm as well, as they are all a bit fine. The 16th scale obviosuly handled the 1/4 and 1/8 as well. |

I'm a yank and although we were introduced to metric pretty well in school I still struggle sometimes with conversions between nano, micro, pico, etc. I know, I'm a noob. I feel ashamed that I have to leave a browser tab open with cap values. |

0.3" lead forming would be nice (small diodes, 1/8W res) |
