Today's thing.. Was an exercise in frustration.
While soldering the above (secret) Thing, I made the fatal mistake of designing as I go. For something temporary like prototyping on a solderless breadboard, that's not much of an issue. But when you've got a 700 degree soldering iron and you're making semi-permanent decisions, it can be a bit frustrating.
So, after a mistake or two and some necessary rewiring (hurray for visual inspection,) I connect the battery.. And it doesn't work. The sound it makes is weak, the sensor isn't working, I'm getting frustrated. Which means tomorrow, I get to debug it.
Maybe it's time to paint some more miniatures.
