Cheat Sheets

[olsenn]

I just thought I'd start this thread for anyone who wants to post their favourite cheat sheets, and/or condensed resources. Here is a useful example for some common op-amp configurations:

Stop hosting your stuff on postimage ... it's NSFW and plus i can't see anything
Use photobucket or tinypic

Oh that's an easy fix, do your job at work.

For a thread like this, attaching images directly to the forum post is infinitely preferable to using an external image host.  That way the information will be available for as long as the thread is, not subject to disappearing at the whim of some advert-laden porn repository.

Your chose of host was bad but the content is great, thanks.


Cheers

Wow, haha, I never head any complaints about image hosting before and now I'm getting crucified for it. Fuddle duddle!

I hope there's still some use for a thread like this though... things like this have the potential to be quite useful

I wasn't at work ...

Now why would you need a cheat sheet for something as simple as an opamp...
Al you need to know is ohms law...  The rest is all voltage dividers and current running...

NSFW means "not suited for work" ...

Thanks for the cheat sheet.

Nah.. this thread will turned into abandoned useless thread, its just the matter of time that these freebie hosting site might decided to delete it,  or worst altered/changed to something like a nasty ad ridden image. Attaching & embedding image to the forum post is not that difficult.

Like this one here, look at the 1st image, its gone -> https://www.eevblog.com/forum/general-chat/whats-your-work-benchlab-look-like-post-some-pictures-of-your-lab/msg1874/#msg1874

This reference document is nowheres near complete, and I haven't had time to verify all of it, but in case anyone finds it useful I'm posting it. Feel free to add your own stuff to it or do whatever. It covers (loosly) transient analysis, filters, and op-amp configurations. Eventually it will include transistor configurations, large and small signal analysis, and digital logic.

I'm leaving this in .docx format (word 2007+) because equations aren't handled well if converted to .doc Also note that it is archived (zip format) so that I can post it on this forum.

Why not just save it in a format everyone can read?

Why not Open Document, instead of proprietary non-standard microsoft.

For the same reason I didn't convert the equations into photos and store it in .doc format... because it is more editable. PDF is great for completed works, but not so good for a work in progress. As for open source alternatives; THEY SUCK! Open Office is crap compared to Microsoft Office. Go cry to your mommy if you don't like using Microsoft products just because they are a business and not hippies who believe it's wrong to make money off your good work.

That's fine but post it in PDF as well for those who don't have the latest version of MS Office.

That's a matter of opinion.

I personally don't like lots of the MS Offic programs: MS Word and Publisher are crap, Excel mediocre and PowerPoint poor. I find the interface is horrible and performance poor. The computer I use at work has MS Office installed and I very rarely used it and run Openoffice most of the time. I wouldn't use MS Office, even if it were free.

Go cry to your mommy if you don't like using Microsoft products just because they are a business and not hippies who believe it's wrong to make money off your good work.

I don't mind some Microsoft products: I'm currently posting from a PC running Windows, am perfectly happy with it and wouldn't choose to run Linux (tried that and wasn't happy with the performance) and have never tried Mac OS because I've no reason to.

I don't mind Microsoft being a business: I use other commercial software such as LTSpice and AutoCAD and some of their software is quite good: Visual Basic was great (not tried their Visual Studio yet) and I liked MS Access the last time I tried it; Visio is reasonable, although I don't know how it compares with Corel Draw or Adobie illustrator these days.

You should get your facts straight: OpenOffice.org was originality developed by a business (StarDivision) who were bought by Sun Microsystems in 1999, then by Oracle in 2010, who in 2011 discontinued support after alienating the developers and is now developed by the Open Document and Apache Foundation: non-profit organisations. I had no problem using OpenOffice.org when it was developed by a business and it's just as good now.

olsenn Thanks again for putting this together.

Ignore the complainers. You're contributing and they aren't.

Is that aimed at me?

Don't get me wrong, it's a handy little cheat sheet which I'll probably use and I think translating it into a format everyone can read is contributing. It's not like I'm just complaining and not doing anything about it.

Also MS Word is a pretty universal interchange format. There is a free document viewer from Microsoft and other software can import it and convert it.

Unfortunately it only runs on Windows so is no good for Mac OS or Linux users.

In my experience, Word documents are hardly universal: the same document can display differently on different versions of Word. MS Word format is only really any good for transferring fairly simple documents between computers, anything more complicated can cause problems.

[SeanB]

I agree, even nominally identical installs can do strange things to documents that are set for a different printer. Let alone the converter that can horribly mangle certain files every so often.

[Zero999]

Oh, and I forgot to say, I already know about the viewer - it's what I used to convert the cheat sheet to a PDF.
