    Static Electricity creating pulse on ground that is clearing shift register?

    So recently due to the low temperatures and in turn the low humidity I have been seeing this weird thing where if you wiggle too much in a chair near the circuit-board and power system I have been working on, then stand up, you create a pulse in the ground of the system which is strong enough to...

    Keep axis parallel and in same plane with GDT?

    Assuming I have a double V block part as shown below, and the design intent is to keep the axis of the two imaginary cylinders lying in the part parallel and in the same plane, what is the best way to do this? I have some ideas as to how to make this happen (below), but I am unsure as to how...

    Flatness on a per unit basis

    I am looking at a drawing made by a US company in 1975. I cant find a reference to any drawing standard. there is a note regarding flatness that reads as follows: "DEVIATION FROM VERT TO BE WITHIN .005 TOTAL FLATNESS. TOL FOR SURFACE [a bunch of surfaces] TO BE WITHIN .002 TOTAL (MAX .0002...

    Is depth of press fit ever assumed on a drawing?

    If you have a blind hole and specify a press fit dowel pin but no depth, is it assumed that the pin should be pressed in until it reaches the holes depth? What if there is a through hole, is the pin assumed to be pressed flush relative to the surface containing the note if there is no specified...

    Implied Flatness Ordinate Dimensions

    Does Implied flatness still apply to both surfaces when using ordinate dimensions, or does the side with the 0- denotation sort of become a datum and the flatness only applies to the non zero dimension?

    Over dimensioning around center lines

    I have a part with a symmetric line down the middle as shown in attached picture. Assuming I am using current ASME standards, having the dimension labeled 1(red) and the dimensions 2 and 3 would be over constraining the part correct? Is having only the dimension labeled 1 and not having...

    Symmetry Around a Triangular Part

    Hey guys, Let me preface this with I don't have much experience with in depth GD&T I haven't had instruction in it in years and that was not very in depth. I have a part that is an equilateral triangle with some other features added. I want to avoid dimensioning all three sides of the triangle...

    Under-Rated Load Resistor Worry

    I am working on using USB serial to communicate with a high speed spindle driver to automatically run a spindle. I am using an ATMEGA to flip transistors and manually set each of the required serial pins to either high or low to get the outcome I want on the spindle driver. The schematic and...
