I’ve stated before that the purpose of this blog is to outline my shortcomings. It was almost a month before I finally got around to soldering together my USB Interface board, so this was probably sometime mid-May. I have a bad habit of procrastinating things like this. I think it’s a fear of failure; a fear that I hope to alleviate via this blog.
The board didn’t take long to put together, but after everything was assembled it didn’t work. I was completely discouraged. It was such a simple design, how could I not solder a couple of dozen joints properly? I would have to probe out the board with my multimeter. Once again, I let my fear of failure takeover and the project was shelved once again. I had a sinking sensation that this project would never see the light of day.
