16:47 <set_> Frocks of beagles. What ever happened to the girl who was designing clothes to articulate feelings while moving within the garments? There was one that had haptic sensors that could sense differences in movement and "feelings."

16:49 <set_> Like blood pressure, etc.

16:50 <set_> Me namely.

16:50 <set_> Anyway, all for now.

16:52 <set_> Hey... @zmatt: If you ever get around to understanding my ill-fate, can you reply one day to these ideas?

16:54 <set_> My LOW is too high. My HIGH is just right. My circuitry gives a high LOW and a good HIGH but the Rising Edge seems off at 2.67v which is not enough to warrant driver control via the GPIO from the BY-AI.

16:54 <set_> ...

16:56 <set_> I am doing my best to try to not break the machine but my attacks are way off. I need something other than the chips I current have now. I am using a ULN2003A which is supposed to handle some type of TTL and some type of CMOS if given that data which will output that data.

16:57 <set_> Anyway, if any of it makes sense, please reply. I would like your feedback.

17:46 <ds2> eh?

18:02 <set_> Aw...

18:02 <set_> Okay.

18:02 <set_> So, I need my low to under 0.5v for the GPIO but the HIGH is okay now.

18:03 <set_> My low is 0.67v and it is too high.

18:03 <set_> BY-AI output of a GPIO is what I am discussing but there are more logic down stream that are giving me a hard time.

18:04 <set_> The GPIO from the BY-AI goes to a level shifter to supply CMOS to TTL data (GPIO) to a ULN2003A and then to a motor driver.

18:05 <set_> I tested every step. The current LOW is too high for the ON/OFF of the circuitry of the motor driver.

18:06 <set_> Is there a "cure all" that can remove voltage without a trimpot?

18:09 <set_> I need to remove the LOW voltage of the LOW state to a value of 0.0v to 0.5v. I have 0.65v now on my LOW end for now.

18:14 <set_> Everything else, value wise, seems normal and this is the oddity only. I am about ~0.15v to ~0.649v away from making this driver work and the ~0.15v to ~0.649v is where my LOW needs to be less than 0.65v to make it work.

18:14 <set_> I need a super micro-reducer.

18:17 <set_> But...those are my calculations and not a real-world working order for now. So, without anymore mathematics involved, I need to drop my voltage on the LOW portion of the GPIO to 0.0v to 0.5v in reality and keep my HIGH portion as it is now, i.e. 4.65v.

18:17 <set_> Education me!

18:19 <set_> See, if I never went to school, I would have never found out about anything. I could just be uninformed (like now) but worse.

18:21 <set_> So, low drop-out, HIGH side current limiter?

18:22 <set_> But...yea. But.

18:26 <set_> and of course they do not have PDIP. Why would you want PDIP if you can manage altering current?

18:27 <set_> Okay. I should break for noodles and sauce. I am in a snowball uphill.

21:38 <set_> More parts to the rescue!
