Huh?! What?! You may be asking. Yup! I'm building a new computer on breadboards. So far it's been a pretty educational project and this post goes into what the project is and many of the things I've learned so far!
The first thing many people do these days when they begin messing with electronics is create a
circuit that does nothing but light an LED. I'm no exception. :)
I've learned to solder! OK, maybe I already had an idea of how to solder and have done a (very) small amount if it in
the past but I'm learning to do it correctly. I picked up a nice iron
(Weller WES51) with adjustable temperatures, swappable tips and a holder and it definitely makes a huge
difference from the el cheapo I had before.
