A project finished... Well, one phase of it, anyway. Way back in December, just before I drove back to Virginia to move my brother Scott out here, I was working on an electronic clock kit. I'd actually finished the assembly of it, but I still had a bug of some sort.
Well, this afternoon I spread the kit, its manual, my 'scope, multimeter, and soldering iron out on the kitchen table and went to work. An hour later, I had it all working, after fixing two more issues. First issue was a broken circuit board trace (for a total of three in the kit). The second (and last!) issue was all my own fault: a cold solder joint. But now it's all running!
Next step on this project: a nice wooden case of some kind. I'll have to ponder exactly what I want that to look like...
