Re: Soldering and continuity questions

I got it working!! Woo! All I had to do was repair one of the crappier wires after I did the continuity check. Now all I have to do is design an Earthbound label (:

Re: Soldering and continuity questions

I started with something easy and am trying to work my way up in complication. Now, I am in the process of creating a reproduction of Mother 1 on a PCB donor from Deja V...
