New Adventures in Physical and Virtual Systems Design

For the past three weeks, I have been running around like mad collecting equipment to prepare for the physical build section of my contract.  I found a space with a workbench and good lighting where I can leave my project undisturbed and come back to the work when I am ready which is really nice.

For the first build, I am in the process of making a BYOC (Build Your Own Clone) Confidence Booster circuit to get my feet wet so to speak.  The circuit consists of a linear boost and buffer with either mono or stereo input/output.

To start, I completed a parts count, and tested all the resistors with my multi-meter to make sure they were the correct value and were working properly.  Thanks to Stan Gibilisco and his chapter on resistance I understand how the resistors work in this circuit.

On Tuesday, October 13, 2009 I finished soldering all the resistors.  I attempted to take some photos for documentation purposes; however, my digital camera is not able to take close up photos so I am working on other possibilities for using photos to document my build as it progresses.
