Well, today I finished soldering the circuit board for Jon’s next sculpture. Take a look:
Some parts were harder to do than others. The hardest component to solder to the board had to be the schmitt trigger. It was a little small for a hand-solder job.
If you look on the board, it is next to the lone resistor near the top. I think next time, I’ll buy bigger parts. The problem is that it is really hard to judge size by the picture on the website.

dad-gum – that thing is small. How did we get that on there?! Nice to see everything in place

You should send the website that photo for them to use for future customers! How much did it cost, BTW?

How much did that component cost? $0.29 ea. Here is a link to the product page where I got it at DigiKey: http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&name=568-2267-1-ND
The picture on the website looks much bigger than it does in real life.
The board cost about $20 to make (from http://www.BatchPCB.com/), the components probably cost around $20-30. It is hard to say because I didn’t buy them all at once and when I bought the parts I got extras for future projects. The amount of time I’ve invested? Many, many hours.
