Yeah, that does look cool. The circuits look pretty easy to build. I'll have to scour the Goodwill for a kitschy, fun container to house it in.
I figured it would be a fun project. It will be my first
Ugly Construction project, (which I hadn't even heard of until a few weeks ago).
The idea of "Ugly Construction" intrigues me, to say the least. One of the main reasons my projects didn't always make it from the breadboard to the PCB was the tediousness of designing and etching the boards. I went from rub-ons, to photoresist, to the overnight turnaround of the internet, but the processes all became more and more tedious. I really hate laying out designs on ExpressPCB, but it's the only one I've found that doesn't take an engineering degree to use, and it will save as a .pcb file, so I can use saved work with other prototyping firms. Needless to say, the prospect of not having to do any of that altogether, and simply using "Ugly Construction", is very appealing.
