Should Analog be added to the Technologies

dang74

I am in the process of writing a blog on a vacuum tube project.  I noticed that it doesn't fit into any of the existing Technologies groups.  I originally brought this up in the feed-back forum.  Doug replied by suggesting that Analog should be added to the technology groups.  This could cover designs and blogs that take a more traditional approach... and don't otherwise fit into the other existing groups.

  • My topic-of-last-resort is "Open Source Hardware", I shove blogs in there if I cannot find a topic that better matches the blog.

    Probably most blogs have some element of open sourceness if circuitry is being shared, so it seemed a not-unreasonable dumping ground. Maybe if a general "Electronics" topic is created, then Open Source Hardware could be absorbed into it, just to keep the topics list short (i.e. maybe just rename "Open Source Hardware" if no-one is too attached to keeping the name like that, since the title "Open Source Hardware" doesn't fully describe what level of open sourceness there is inside the blogs anyway.

    Often analog circuitry might be related to sensors or power, or measurement/test and thankfully there are topics for that.

    Thanks Shabaz.  I was contemplating either "Open Source Hardware" or "Power and Energy."  The latter being justified somewhat by the fact that the project contains 3 transformers... but I wasn't planning on doing a deep dive into transformer physics... but maybe I can shoe horn a little into it.
