Softrock Ensemble Night 3
Another quick night at the workbench but some forward movement!
Tonight's steps were around building the LO. On the backside of the board there are a several additional SMT capacitors and then the Si570. On the front side the additions are some resistors, a PNP transistor, a couple of diodes and the Atmel CPU.
Oh yeah, the first toroid T1 was installed as well.
I think that I am the point where I can contact a PC and try to test the LO. That means that I need to load up some Windows software. I will probably need to fire up XP in a Virtualbox session on an Ubuntu laptop that I can bring over to the workbench. --I will save that for another night.
