The Art of the Rebuild
April 20th, 2009
If writing is really the art of re-writing then Hardware Hacking is the art of rebuilding. After looking over the first two boards of the Makers Quilt I’ve decided they need a rehuild. For starters the 26 AWG I used on board is over kill and 30 AWG will work just fine. I also want to redo the LED matrix so the the 9’s and 6’s look better.
Board 1 needs to have the gears removed so I can do something cool with them and the ribbon cable needs to be rerouted through a slot on the board so the edges are clear for connecting other boards.
No design is ever right the first 100 times … that’s why we have solder pullers.
