PS : thanks for your post on state machines.... saved it. We never used
that 'notion', but then I'm an analog dinosaur.... Was a good time actually,
until the µP asteroid hit.
Thanks for that, and for the record, am a bit of a dinosaur here as well :-).
I originally came into embedded work from a hardware, rather than comp sci
background and still do some analog work from time to time. It never
ceases to amaze me what was achieved in the past with mechanical gyros,
servos, synchros and discreet components. Often straddling many disciplines,
the designers of old were masters of their art...
