Sorry, fingers faster than brain :-)


It is the same as with the VHC chip - it is not available so one searches for possible replacement. So we can either say "it's impossible without this chip, don't do that" (with explanation, why), or recommend replacements with explanation. Of course, we can simply put a schematics with no explanation whatsoever, but that already happened several times - didn't it - and it did not work.

This is exactly why I went to that shop's website and searched. Kai came up with a handful of possible replacements; these should be included in the description and also said clearly why not anything else (or, for the "advanced newbie" what should be looked after when searching for other possible replacement).

I am just trying to find a balance. But, sorry, I don't have the know how. The members here do have, huge. I know, your instinct tells you "hands off" because you know better solutions, but here you need to suppress some of your designer's instincts developed over the time as this is a very different task.

This is teaching, and teaching is a hard job, including precise balancing of what should be said to whom and how.

Look at it this way: my son rambled around when I did some work around the house and of course was fascinated with the tools like electric drill. I could tell him: don't touch, it's dangerous. I could tell him: if you want to pick it up and hand it to me, make sure the drill is pointing away from you and avoid pressing that orange button, as it will start it. Guess which one I told him.
