Monopoly in Lights

Philosopher World

Well, I finally made the time to solder up one of the boards I ordered and, not too surprisingly, it didn’t work off the bat.  I noticed a flaw in the schematic as I was looking to see how everything should be wired up, and was able to fix that, but the overall fact remains that even with the fix, the board didn’t do its job.  So now, I have the long troubleshooting process to look forward to.  This will probably tell the tale of whether I actually finish this project.  This is the kind of setback that can really sap the desire to move forward, because you feel like you’re so close to a breakthrough, but suddenly get a roadblock set before you that may take weeks to clear.  It’s not like I’ve had a lot of time to devote to the project at all lately, so it’ll be interesting to see whether I can manage to solder on. (See what I did there?)
