PAiA FatMan<\/a> arrived today. Of course I had to start on tonight…<\/p>\nWell, after 176 solder points and a few hours of work cataloging parts, writing down what’s missing (this frustrates me to no end), cutting, bending, and soldering, this is where I’m at. All jumpers in place, all resistors (except the couple which I’m missing) in place, ready to start placing the caps tonight. Hopefully PAiA will come through right-quick with the replacement parts. I’m missing things like the socket for the CPU (for the MIDI bits), a set screw for one of the knobs, an op amp, etc.<\/p>\n
Oh well, at least there’s parts of the kit to work on in the mean time. :D This is fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
