my mistake, it's not the salts you want, those are already there. citric acid is good. compare to glutaric acid, which is used in some commercial no-clean fluxes

actually, it was capitalism

the Shockley diode equation wasn't enough?

He can cover bit of both. It's an elective subject, not an EE course.

I think that something like Arduino, is a bit like Python. It's frown upon by the professionals, but on the other hand if you want to do something simple, where optimization is less important than the time it takes to get it to work, then it is the best solution.

If someone is a physics student and wants to do some basic signal processing, it's better to use Python than to make something in C, just because that's hip, and it runs in 0.00001 seconds instead of 0.01 .

The same thing applies here, if you have a measurement to make, where optimization (of the setup) is not important, the Arduino, or any similar product can be really helpful, and can easily expand the capabilities of someone who doesn't have a solid understanding in electronics and who otherwise wouldn't have the means to hire people, or learn the necessary things.

With that said, I'm always amazed at what some of the analog people can do, and I think that the disrespect they get from the new kids is just retarded. Pic related.
