MURPHY'S LAW OF KIT BUILDING

If you forget to solder a connection, it will be in a place that=
 will 
be covered up by other parts and will not be discovered until=
 said 
"other parts" are in place!


This is my conclusion after spending two hours de-soldering the=
 LCD, 
reflector, etc., so that I could solder pin 1 of U1.  Somehow I=
 had 
failed to solder it; hence the infinity readings I got on that=
 pin 
during resistance checks. 

Another conclusion:  soldering is fun; de-soldering is NOT fun!=
 ;-)

73 to all!

Carl
