[sdiy] Keeping Busy this weekend

[patchell]

    Well, here is one of the things that kept me busy this weekend.

http://www.silcom.com/~patchell/synthmodules/patgenpcb.jpg

    It is a 16 x8 pattern generator I am working on.  The PCB is
complete in this picture, except for the LED's.  The reason they are not
in yet, is I am not sure how it is I am going to get them in...a very
complicated story.  It was bad enough getting the switches in.  To get
it to go into the panel, I figured I would have to solder the switches
to the PCB while it was mounted in the panel...easier said than done.
Trying to get 128 switchs that are just flopping in the breeze to go
into a 128 holes in a panel is quite an exercise...One that I will have
to repeat soon here (I am making two of these).

    If this doesn't prove I am crazy...I don't know what will.
