Sanity has left the building :thumbup:

You don't have to be mad to be here, but it helps! :lol:

It was late, and I was tired....

But I'm down to the 1K, 10K and 33R resistors now, so getting closer.

Revenge of the Diodes will soon be here, from the team that brought you "Soldering Iron Terror".....

Well you had the burning melting flesh last installment, so interesting to see what the next brings...

Indeed I did! Wondering if I watched waaay too much sci-fi/horror when I was a youngster.

I can imagine it now... rubber jonnie in a martial arts film.. where his choice of weapon isn't a samurai sword, but a password protected soldering iron...

Don't forget a whip made entirely out of braided de-soldering wick!

Ok, so the final ICs are here, hopefully will get the build finished tonight :)

Good luck for the switch on event. Which celebrity are you shipping in to flick the switch as it’s near Christmas lights turn on season.

:bravo:

I can see it now.. ST is turned on.. lights dim in the house.. all the bulbs explode as the monitor slowly comes into focus... but wait, there is a eerie red glow filling the room and a faint cry of burning resistors which are looking for their next kill...
