1. This assignment to make the FabISP board was one of the hardest to complete for me. I never milled in my live nor made a PCB myself or soldered SMD components.
2. It looks scary but at the end is logical stuff, that doesn't mean that I get everything now, but you will see the amazing things you will do in the future with this.
3. After you finish you have to check all your wiring with the multimeter. Spend some time on doing this because is a safety issue for your computer, if you don't do it and you have a short circuit or something in the board you can ruin your computer, so be careful and take your time.
4. Soldering is a fun part for me, but at the beginning it wasn't that easy. My first mistake was that I wasn't leaving the solder wire long enough so the material attached really bad.
5. I had some problems with a bad connection, so the when I was trying to program, I just got an error message. Because of this bad connection the computer couldn't find the FabISP.
6. I couldn´t reach to the programming face because I spend all my time learning to use the Modella and learning about how electronics work It was a very new topic for me, I was used to reading books and writing essays. I didn´t receive the help that I was expecting for my tutors.
7. I hope to improve my electronic skills for the next assignment.
final project
god.
