That's the main board and modules done. Too scared to turn it on just yet.
I have an FTDI cable somewhere in the house, and I also have 3 other modules to build too, so still got a way to go.

Hopefully I haven't stuffed it up too much, but my eyesight seems to be failing me and I've got a headache from staring at the tiny components and sniffing the solder fumes.

So I think it's nap time. :)

@notawizard Really nice progress! And debugging is a normal process for this kind of build :)

@josipretrobits @notawizard Watching with much interest! The debugging is what puts me off attempting this sort of project as if it doesn’t work first time I’m almost clueless. I need to change that, but also interested to see how you have gone about it when you fix it.

@jonnypencils @josipretrobits

I'm feeling kinda clueless as well, so I'm just doing the basics. Multimeter beep tests so far is the extent of it. :)

I've found 2 resistors on the clock card that are both beeping when I touch them, but I'm not sure if they're supposed to be.
The solder job looks pretty shoddy there, and I've tried cutting a gap between them, but still beeping.
Will try to resolder those joints tomorrow and see what happens.
