MOTM

I am building up my first MOTM-300 today. 
Wow, so many components.  I am kinda 
scared of the thing!  I guess I will see if it 
actually works later tonight after I solder 
the rest up

No need to be scared.  Put all the parts in the right places
and it will work <smart-ass snicker>.  :)

Anyone ever thought of taking some digital 
pictures of the assembly process and putting it up 
on the web as a  guide to "ordinary blokes can do it" ?  
---LH---
I actually have done this for the MOTM-300, MOTM-820 and
MOTM-420.  I shot over 1gig of photos of those 3 modules 
alone and sent them to Paul for his future use.  It was so many 
Mb as many were uncompressed 9 meg tiffs.

I could put the medium resolution photos (about 150K each)
up at my web site for these three modules.  Anyone else think
this would be useful, fun or handy?

I have to admit that after my sixth module or so, I stopped reading most of 
the assembly instructions (except for the weird bits, and calibration of 
course) since Paul typically follows the same procedure for all the modules, 
and I finally succumbed to Paul's mind control techniques and now understand 
these instructions implicitly! However, there is the occasional weird bit 
(like the tempcos on the 320) where I have to look at the instructions. In 
some cases I really wish there was a picture when there is like two or three 
paragraphs of text describing how to install one component -- I can't 
remember any examples off hand, maybe you can Larry. Anyway, it would be nice 
to have some of these pix available somewhere.
