  • I'm wondering what it would be like to keep the metabolism of a brain-dead organism going and controlling it via the nervous system, thereby creating a cyborg (but in reverse as opposed to most sci-fi ones).

    Like, imagine an irrecoverable comatose patient whose every speech-related nerve is tapped. Using machine learning, one could create a neural network that maps all muscle movements to sounds and vice versa. The setup could then play any waveform to just about the best of the vocal tract's ability – in short, turning the body into a peak beatboxer. (With multiple such cyborgs or a looper, one could achieve arbitrary precision at recreating sound waves! There can be actual uses too, like letting paralyzed people speak again, but I all can think of is whether the paper of this research ends up using Bad Apple!! or Never Gonna Give You Up as the demo song, and whether there's going to be an acapella band touring with effectively propped-up corpses.)

  • Nope, same problem as linear. Can you get angle correct to 4 decimal places and prevent the contact from oxidation?

    "Digital potentiometers" are rotary encoders, which are switches, not resistive dividers. They are a useful input device for a microcontroller but not in an analog circuit.

    Another option is a multi-pole rotary switch with selectable resistors in each position, but that only gives you the available values.

    They are all larger and more expensive. Just use two E12 resistors in parallel or series, you can always get within 1 %. They cost a dime a dozen. The series was made for such combinations – did you know that 180 Ω and 220 Ω in parallel gives 99 Ω, a value useful for 1/100 dividers?

  • The least reliable resistor. Not to mention the trial-and-error getting it close enough to the target value.

  • E192 resistors are expensive. E6 resistors 6.8Ω and 68Ω in parallel, available pretty much everywhere components are sold, result in 6.1818 Ω, which is within 0.05 % of the target, around the edge of what you can achieve without active temperature compensation.

  • I'm not saying they don't work. Even thermoelectric ones do, it's just that they are worse.

  • Congratulations! I'd love being able to lucid dream, I imagine it's like being on some kind of drugs but without the risk.
