Hello Dennis, You wrote: "....... because sending attachments to the

Well it should. Below are the rules for attachments (called enclosures by 

Matt). Have you found that these rules do not work?

gather and understand knowledge."



========================================================



      **************************************

      *** Enclosure Support on the Lists ***

      **************************************



         Limited posting of enclosures such as pictures, documents, and 

spreadsheets

         is supported on the Lists.  There are a number of restrictions, and 

these

         are detailed below.  Please abide by the rules put forth regarding 

the

         content of enclosures.



         These are some of the features and limits of enclosures on the 

Matronics

         Lists:



         1) Enclosures will only be posted to the Real Time version of the 

Lists.



         2) Enclosures will NOT be included in the Daily Digest version of 

the Lists.



         3) Enclosures WILL BE forwarded on to the BBS Forum Web site.



         4) Enclosures will NOT be appended to the Archives.



         5) Enclosures will NOT be available in the List Browse feature.



         6) Only the following file types and extensions will be allowed:



                       bmp doc dwg dxf gif jpg pdf png txt xls



            All other enclosures types will be rejected and email returned 

to

            sender.  The enclosure types listed above are relatively safe 

from

            a virus standpoint and don't pose a particularly large security 

risk.



         7) !! All incoming enclosures will be scanned for viruses prior to 

posting

            to the List.  This is done in real time and will not slow down

            the process of posting the message !!

         Here are some rules for posting enclosures.  Failure to abide by 

these rules

         could result in the removal of a subscriber's email address from 

the Lists.



         1) Pay attention to what you are posting!!  Make sure that the 

files

            you are enclosing aren't HUGE (greater that 1MB).  Remember that 

there

            are still people checking they're email via dial up modem.  If 

you post

            30MB worth of pictures, you are placing an unnecessary burden on 

these

            folks and the rest of us, for that matter.



         2) SCALE YOUR PICTURES DOWN!!!  I don't want to see huge 3000 x 

2000

            pictures getting posted that are 3 or 4MB each.  This is just

            unacceptable.  Use a program such as Photoshop to scale the 

picture

            down to something on the order of 800 x 600 and try to keep the

            file size to less-than 200KB, preferably much less.



            Microsoft has a really awesome utility available for free that 

allows

            you to Right-Click on a picture in Explorer and automatically

            scale it down and resave it.  This is a great utility - get it, 

use it!

            http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx

            Look for the link "Image Resizer"



         3) !! This would seem to go without saying, but I'll say it anyway. 

Do not

            post anything that would be considered offensive by your 

grandmother.

            And you know what I'm saying; I don't want to see anything even

            questionable. !!



         4) REMEMBER THIS: If you post a 1MB enclosure to a List with 1000 

members

            subscribed, your 1MB enclosure must be resent 1000 times 

amounting

            to 1MB X 1000 = 1 Gigabyte of network traffic!!  BE CAREFUL and

            BE COURTEOUS!



         Also see the section below on the Matronics Photo and File Share 

where

         you can have your files and photos posted on the Matronics web 

server

         for long time viewing and availability.

Bob,



I had the opportunity to put a scope on the circuit this past weekend.  I 

sent

a photo of the screen (jpg) file to your AeroElectric email address, because 

sending

attachments to the Matronics list doesn't work.  But I don't know if your

email accepts attachments either.  I can put the photo up on a website if 

necessary,

let me know.



When the motor is running, the collector of Q103 sees 5V.  When the limit 

current

is reached, the voltage at the gate of Q114 drops in about 200ms.

I currently use the Web email list browser - no attachments.  I'll have to upgrade to the BBS forum (but I like the other, simpler, user interface better)  I'm doing this from the BBS forum as a test...(it's an old dog, new trick thing

I have found that I much prefer to just have the emails forwarded to my 

own email account.  Then I set up filters to automatically move them to 

the appropriate email folder (in this case "Aeroelectric").



Attachments get forwarded just fine and I can read the email whenever I 

want - including when I am not even connected to the internet (assuming 

that I have downloaded the email already).  It also gives me the 

capability to search on my own computer for older posts.

I had originally set up my access that way (years ago, when I started building), but the volume of email was daunting, especially when subscribed to multiple lists, and I wanted to see everything of course.  Didn't really want/need that much stuff on my hard drive, so I opted for the Web browser instead.  The BBS forum didn't come until later and my habit was already formed, so I didn't switch, and basically forgot about it!
