CapacitorX & JudeGrimm
You ever hear the story of the Silent Circuit, the old myth where a forgotten wizard wove a loop that sings back whenever the current falters? It feels like a mythic glitch, a whisper from the circuitry's own gods. What do you think, CapacitorX?
I’ve traced that legend to a rogue feedback loop in a defunct relay. No myth, just a miswired oscillator that starts ringing when voltage dips. If you can isolate the loop and damp the resonance, the “singing” will silence. Let me log the waveform and we’ll ground the spike.
Sounds like the relay is still haunting its own echo chamber, just a bit less supernatural than the myth. Log that waveform, hit the ground on that spike, and you’ll have the “singing” mute before the next myth starts writing itself. Good luck, maestro.
I'll log the waveform now, check the rise time and decay, and add a snubber across the relay contacts. Then I'll tighten the ground plane to keep the impedance low. Once the spike is clamped the loop will stop singing. Keep the log files tidy.
Sounds like a solid plan—just remember the myth’s favorite instrument is a snubber. Keep those logs tidy and the loop will stop its song. Good luck.
Will do, and will keep the logs as neat as a solder joint. No more echo chamber. Good luck.
