Well, I've closed the windows, turned off the lights and locked the door over at r/askelectronics (sub is now private). Let's see how this unfolds...

I'm plesantly surprised at the number of voters. I went with this format, instead of what you suggest or a third party voting site, thinking there would only be a handful of replies!

The call for designs was open for weeks. This is what came in.

How can it be, it's emitting more than it's collecting. Unnatural.

Yeah, it's initially to flag the relationship between here and there. I agree it has to go and I have already mentioned this to Davide.

Gotta get rid of Soldersnoo icon here!

Interesting comments all round. Let's run with the discussion for a week to allow infrequent visitors a chance to comment and then see if there's a strong trend towards a specific opinion.

Dunno if these guides for setting up the software under Wine will help - I'll have to try it sometime.

Good call that it's on The Internet Archive.

Not sure about reproducing it here (via a link to somewhere hosting it); We would have to check whether Reddit has a claim over it, even though it was compiled by many mods and Redditors. I'll check their terms of service.

Hi, just FYI, a better place for questions is AskElectronics. This is a good place to showcase your finished project. Hope it goes well.

After 9 days, the upvotes and downvotes are tied so nothing changes for now, but we can revisit later.

Personally, I'd prefer organic growth rather than reposting stuff from Reddit.

Spread the word about the sub!

Thanks all. I'll leave it a week and then gather the submissions for a poll.

PLEASE ADD YOUR ICON DESIGNS TO THIS POST, INCLUDING ONES YOU HAVE POSTED IN OTHER PLACES.

SolderSnoo has gone and there's a placeholder until we get a new icon.

Apologies - things got a bit delayed. I'm now talking to Davide about a poll for a new icon.

Reddit's Terms of Service do appear to imply that the wiki cannot be brought elsewhere...

"you may not...prepare derivative works of, disassemble, decompile, or reverse engineer any part of the Services or Content..."

What exact info do you need?

You'll need to speak to electrical folks. We're electronic engineers - quite different.

There's plenty of online stuff e.g. YouTube.

The sub is currently available in Restricted mode so all posts can be viewed but new ones cannot be submitted. The sub is currently polling subredditors for their vote on whether to stay open or go dark again. Check your post while you can!
