2024 Canadian Grand Prix - [QUALIFYING] discussion thread ⏱️
  • There has always been a pretty large gap between Perez and Max in terms of performance. It's been speculated that it is more a matter of the competition's cars getting faster than Perez's performance declining. They have found a way to catch up with Red Bull car and only Max's skill is keeping them ahead.

  • 2 player control layout: suggestions welcome

    Anyone have any advice regarding my design? I'm figuring on playing older titles mostly so I think the 6 action buttons are more than enough to play on. That will allow me to map an A, B, X, Y, L1, L2 for console games. On the top row I can place a Select (player), Start (coin) as well as a hotkey button. That leaves me with an extra button at the top if anyone can think of what I can use it for. Also, I'm planning on one button on either side for a poor man's pinball machine.

    I figured I'd ask here before mocking it up in case I missed anything.

    DC Theory: negative voltage

    I'm trying to understand what's happening in this circuit:

    I------------------T1 (+333V) I I I R1(10K) (pos) I 1000V I------------gnd (0V) (neg) I I R2(10K) I I I IT2(-333V) I I I R3(10K) I I I-----------------IT3 (-666.7V)

    I am learning basic DC theory from reading and sometimes I come across something I'd like to ask a question about, so:

    1. In the above circuit, without the ground, the voltage across all components would begin at 10V and finish at 0V. By adding a ground, I'm basically saying "here is 0V" and everything gets redefined in reference to that point and I end up with a 10 volt circuit with +3.33 as it's highest voltage and -6.667 as it's lowest.

    2. The electrons could care less, they still flow from the anode to the cathode of the battery under normal conditions, going from the highest potential to the lowest.

    3. This example was only used to demonstrate voltage dividers. It revolved around worker protection present in aluminum processing. Each machine is in series and mobile grounds are used nearest the machine a worker is using. I assume that this allows the worker to have the least exposure to electrical shock as they are also at ground potential?

    I actually think working though these questions has cleared everything up, but please, comment on anything I got wrong.

    Also, sorry about the crappy drawing, the autowrap in this editor really made things tough to format

    Thanks!
