Feb 21, 2013 at 12:13 comment added Phil Frost Here's an example of how Arduino users don't understand that Arduino experience isn't basic electronics: electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/58704/… Note how he says "my experience is moderate", but he doesn't even know how to use a transistor.
Feb 15, 2013 at 3:22 comment added Phil Frost @Shog9 the Arduino experts are not the people that know the fine details of how an Arduino works. An Arduino expert would likely not be able to answer questions like "what's the equivalent series inductance of a capacitior?" any more than a pro driver could tell you the shear strength of the bolts on the engine. They are, however, experts on what shields are available, what software is reusable, and generally how best to accomplish things with the Arduino platform. The people who can explain in fine detail the non-ideal properties of a capacitor are not experts in the Arduino field.
Feb 15, 2013 at 2:36 comment added asheeshr @Shog9 I think you are making an incorrect comparison. A mechanic (because of his job profile) is fine, but an automotive engineer is not. Also, there are people who are interested in cars and know a whole lot about them but from the consumer point of view and not as an engineer.
Feb 14, 2013 at 22:14 comment added Shog9 Assuming you're right about all of this: who are the Arduino experts? To whom do you direct questions about proper gasoline and tire pressure, when you don't want to talk to a mechanic?

Feb 14, 2013 at 20:22 comment added Kortuk I feel any issues with speaking over the head of arduino users could easily be corrected internally with still keeping two fledgling communities together.
