    Data question

    Create 6 outputs from 1 output

    Huh? What do you mean? For example, input is 1KHz and you want all six outputs to be 1 KHz? Do you want them amplified? What are you using this for?

    Temperature indication other than thermometer

    Temperature indication is a very advanced project. There are two good ways I can think of now. Easy Way : You could easily rig up a thermocouple(LM25Z) to a small millivolt meter and make checkpoints of different temperatures. You would calibrate this with a mercury thermometer. Or you could go...

    Bandwidth

    I agree that the bandwidth is the measurement of information/time. But the bandwidth is the width of a channel in hertz. The bits/sec is a rating of speed of information transfer. You see, in order for a signal to be sent in bits it has to be a digital signal( 1s or 0s) as opposed to an analog...
