[...] me was about three hours. In comparison, I spent at least five hours soldering together the mighty TriBooster. Oh yeah, and BYOC just dropped the price on this kit by $10… it can now be had for $59, [...]

Hi Poul,

I can’t guarantee it, but if you download the PDF I’m pretty sure you won’t even need to read the electrical diagrams.

According to BYOC’s website, these kits are literally like “paint by numbers.”

Heck, half the reason for doing this as an online project is so we can help each other out if we get stuck.

I’d love to jump in on this project but I’m totally ignorant of electrical diagrams and those angular icons they use. What’s a dumb A to do? -anyone recomend a good site to learn the basics (crayon font please)?

thanks

PS- those video demos on the BYOC site are very helpful

Cary, man, I may just take you up on the offer. I’m gonna see if the appropriations committee will allow me to take out $100 bucks out and see about ordering it the kit. That would be a nice change of pace for me. I am used to building them from scratch, and takes a while to do, especially when it comes to laying out the board. It should be nice and easy to work from a kit. Thanks for the idear.

Laters!

I’ll be watching closely. I need a boost for my rig as well. BTW, your Harmony-Central link doesn’t go to Harmony-Central – it goes to an unrelated page on your site.
