Hey Bill,

I do exactly the same thing with resistors. I think in current, and sometimes go down in resistance value, to lower the current, oops. I also say “bigger resistor” when I mean a bigger current, oops. We all do that type of mis-speak, don’t worry about that.

You are more than welcome, to discuss alternate ways to do things. There is usually more that one way to solve electronics problems. Just as there is more than one way to program an algorithm. The fun of the forum is the multiple solutions discussed. Let the user decide which way they want to go. Or let their electronic junk-box decide for them. Please, always put your ideas into any thread that you want to help with. Your electronics experience is of great value.

I posted that CMOS schematic from your description. You had said you didn’t really have any easy way of making a schematic. If you look for a drawing program called “paint.NET” it is free and way ahead of MSPaint.

We are all in this together,
