Song of the Day: Have You Ever Seen The Rain - Creedence Clearwater Revival
In this week’s continuing focus on hardware, I spent the day finishing printing the sleds for the nodes of my cluster computer and soldering the controller circuit to perfboard for the telescope.
I did the latter while marathoning Iron Man 1 & 2. As the first time soldering to perfboard, I think it went okay. Definitely not something I am racing to do again. I had a number of rough connections and accidental connections that I spent far too long fixing.
Here’s the finished product:
Afterwards, I tested the motors using both controllers and completed successful tests.
I finished the night by planning out where on my pegboard the different components are going to end up.
