But it's only meant to hold a couple of 0805 LEDS.

Looks worse than it is. 0805 LEDs are so much nicer to handle than 0603 or 0402 ones. I still wouldn't want to do mass production by hand.

Some fruit and nuts.

It's still winter here. The little fellow was gone the next day. Maybe he found a safer and warmer hiding place until that friggin' cold has gone. If I had a say, winter and fall would only take 1 month.

I found these for a very decent price at an online electronics store. I was pretty surprised. Similar devices of the ALPS brand cost 3x as much. EN11HSM15AF

I tried to salvage the headers, but that didn't go to well as you can see. I got one out pretty quickly, but all pins were loose. Can't have that.

I had a fundraiser for this one on tindie. In hindsight I have to be very very glad that nobody wanted it and that it didn't succeed. It would have taken me aeons to assemble the boards ;-( The only sensible way of having this board made is with a pick-and-place machine. It would be orders of magnitude more pleasant without the LEDs + resistors, but having them on the board was the whole point of this project.

This is what it might look like if humans were ruminants. But it tasted pretty good nevertheless.

Initially I had put these bridge-pads on there to select which pins are + and - and connect capacitors to them. Today I used this board with an MCP1804-SOP23-5 voltage regulator. I had everything plugged in and was in need of another GND pin. Not just the one going to the chip, bot one going to the load. Thanks to these jumpers I could use the unused pin #5 (top row in the middle) and just bridge it to GND. I need more of these little moments!

Preparation time: 10 minutes. Added spices: 0. All the salt came from the bacon I used. Heat source: microwave.
