How to: BESPIN Electronics
STEP 1
Get excited about your project. Because let's face it, you need a lot of motivation to keep things going once you've started.
Hint: Try it with cake
STEP 2
Make circuits in EagleCAD until your head starts to spin until and all you can think about are pin connections. Did you name them all correctly? We need a new sensor, you say? Just… pop it in there?
Hint: There is no god
STEP 3
After you've received all the ordered components and pulled yourself together, continue with assembling and testing on a breadboard. Enjoy the warmth radiating from the resistors and heating up your cold cold soul.
STEP 4
You thought you were done with using the computer? Say hello to EagleCAD again and start with the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) design. Free time? Is it a fictional character?
Hint: Middle-mouse click to switch wire to vias
STEP 5
The PCBs have arrived! Your happiness can be compared to swimming with a hundred puppies. Did you forget about the screws? Are the DSUBs are in the right place? Solder things anyway - let's call it the testing board. Go back to step 4 and don't cry.
Hint: Don't forget to rehydrate
Further steps are yet to be explored. Stay tuned.
Siiri out.
