    I will leave that judgement to the board. However, since you are acting beyond my expectation, I reserve the option of sending the board to a 3rd party for reviews :)

    You've always had that option, to have the board tested elsewhere. It's not like we have control over that.

    However, I don't know what "acting beyond my expectations" means, I'm afraid.

    Please remember I have not yet post in another forum that has a broader user base, while you consider me illfully insulting you. If I wanted, I know who to talk to.

    But I haven't. That said a lot.

    One thing with a different perspective, another thing if you are being a semi-dick about it.

    And I have not insulted you at all, directly or indirectly. Or have I? Maybe I missed something?

    But if you looked through the timelines, I wasn't the first to assert "improvements will be more expensive" and "datasheets don't work" according to "our experience", in a techinical discussion.

    So I consider that a challenge taken. Now it is all my time, money, and risk doing the planning, reworking, and testing while I deal with comments on the board. And potentially the shipping costs is on me to test it :( There are a lot of people on my back waiting for me to get it wrong.

    Sorry for the manner, but it has been several long nights gathering information. But I do acknowledge that I don't have a lovely character when it comes to such things.

    Dude, you need to work on your people skills. As the SBAF Official Banker™ we have this saying in my wonderful industry:

    It is not what you said, it is how you said.

    The how part is why you are getting the Dislikes.

    Aha. I didn't know I was issuing a challenge. I was just reporting our experience.

    However, I am a fan of posting things in context. I did not say "improvements will be more expensive" without context, or issue a blanket "datasheets don't work." Here's what I said:

    If this is a challenge, I am sorry. I probably shouldn't have replied. I shouldn't get into technical discussions, as my range of experience is not infinite nor infallible. I have many days when I doubt my own results.

    The offer to test the tweaked board stands. If you're interested, contact me via IM or email at [email protected].

    Only one note of HF noise then I would be out, since my goal in proving I can refine the design is already achieved.

    Current board layout is not optimized to counter HF noises. I cannot tell if you tried, since my picture shows less noise near 21.5Khz.

    Honestly, you're a f'ing idiot. When we picked up the ARDA team at the G a while back, even they knew that datasheets were often flaw with regard to real world performance.

    This is the dumbest perspective on this forum right now.

    Well, IMO, one cannot expect to enjoy being popular without bearing the risk of being exposued. At least I won't reworeded my comments back and forth for more likes.

    This board won't go back to you.

    So I actually do have a PhD in engineering (robotics). From a university typically ranked in the top 10. It doesn't mean I'm smart, and nobody I know thinks that having a PhD means you're smarter than someone without a PhD.

    And trusting mfg data sheets is pretty stupid for any instrument or electronics. Always, always run your own tests and analysis. Unless your company has enough cloud/money to work with the mfg to ensure you can trust the data (have someone observe the test, process the data, etc).

    To be clear, I said "respect" not "trust".

    It's not about being popular. It's not about being right. It's about getting along with people.

    I don't know if you are being stubborn or if you just don't get it. I would ask you to please deescalate.

    Aha!, so that's where all the pettiness and foul smell comes from, it's just envy. What a shitty agenda.
