'we' being those of us in the discussion, distinct from involving eric, who hasn't returned to the discussion.. I suppose 'you' should have been 'one'? Imprecise language, my fault.
That would be the core of the misunderstanding, yes.
I think by now you should be well aware that your...
... no, I have at no point suggested you don't understand the difference. You do, however, seem not to understand what I'm saying. Perhaps that is my fault. Let me try again.
If someone were to be trained in electrical installations and as such is used to 'ground' literally referring to the...
E: You know what, I'm not in the mood for any more of an argument. Carry on being you, the rest of us have things to do which don't involve insulting others.
Yes, and this is why we have ground, chassis ground, protective ground, RF ground, analog ground, digital ground, power ground, and many more...
Not saying it's good, just that it is.
It's only a quirk if you interpret the term 'ground' as a connection to the Earth. If you can see no other definition, then it seems very odd that everything must have a point connected electrically to the planet.
Most simulators refer to the reference as 'ground', as that is standard electronic nomenclature..
These are one and the same thing in this context.
I see eric is not the only one stumbling on this point.
'ground' in this context has nothing to do with the big spinning ball under us. It is the 0V reference point.
This is a non-intuitive setup for those who have been educated in electrical installations, not electronic engineering (which involves a great deal of education simply on utilising...
Old stock.
Not easily.
I would contact Makita and complain, breaking battery compatibility while advertising it is not good business. They may be willing to help you out.
Not really, no. We're not talking about a CPC.
How does the simulator know where your reference voltage is? You have to tell it. The math doesn't work floating.
If I'm understanding him correctly, he's complaining that you must have a ground (or earth..) point in the simulation and cannot have any floating sections of circuit, or the simulator will not run.
