So I have this crazy idea to build a PiDP-11/70 front panel…kit. But I’ve never soldered before. And that makes me nervous. If I could buy it built…I would. So I was looking for something cheap to practice on and found this (only $6)…
Which like the PiDP-11/70 has a lot of LEDs (but not as many).
So I ordered it and when it came…all I saw (so I thought) was the battery pack.
Great now I need to contact Amazon to tell them they forgot part of my order.
However the description on the other side said kit. And when I opened it, I found…this
No instructions, however that very clear pic is probably all I’ll need. As you can see the board in the picture looks like it would take 16 battery packs to cover that board.
So now I know I’m going to need something like this…
Oh yeah…I haven’t even bought a soldering iron yet!
