Over the last couple of months there seems to be a certain pattern emerging in the questions people ask in threads, and the solutions we always offer.
I've come to the conclusion that almost every thread can be solved with one of these two answers;
Q1; How to get this analogue circuit working?
A1; Use a PIC!
Q2; How to get this complex/high voltage/high power analogue circuit working?
A2; Just buy one off ebay!
Then the few remaining threads can always be answered with one of these multiple choice picks;
A. Use a 555 timer.
B. Use an opto-input solid state relay.
C. The thread is impossible/philosophy/nitpicking and everyone in it is a troll/academic/jerk so just ignore it.
D. It's an automotive thread so the mods will close it soon anyway.
E. All of the above!
All we need to do now is write a bot program to identify key phrases, and answer all threads with the appropriate selection from above.
Then we can all retire!
