Great video - thanks for sharing.

You seem like you've been working in electronics for a while. I am keen to watch your other videos and try and figure out how I am supposed to program this thing on the bench next to me :)

I was lucky (in some ways) - since my board was already pre-assembled.

I’ve got Sony Vegas now, so ill be speeding thing up I little from now on cheers for that :-)

PS: I think it would have been a good idea to have filmed the entire process in realtime, and then sped it up with music. I feel as if you have only made HALF a video, no offence.

Your board population order is wrong. You should start at the LOWEST profile components FIRST (resistors) and then work upwards (excluding IC sockets, which I would leave until last, since these are to be used multiple times, and you DO NOT WANT FLUX IN THE SOCKETS!). Here is what I do:

1/ Resistors & diodes

2/ Small caps (or "compacitors" - lmao!)

3/ Keep working upwards in height, inserting DB9 skt and electrolytic caps LAST.
