Slow Progress

It appears that the glue I used is holding so we should be good.  I'm continuing on with the board.

I forgot how much detail work there is in soldering.  Lots of tiny little solder joints not to mention tiny wires.  I have to put on 72 wires yet.  Not really looking forward to it but it has to be done or I'll never get the board done.  The board I'm working on right now is the one that connects to the LEDs and even if I was using an arduino I would have to have this board... ah well.  It is what it is.

I think I have all the parts I need, the only thing I need yet is some solder braid to wick out some mistakes... but I can probably live without it...

On a side note, I would not recommend getting the PanaVise Jr.  It does the job but just barely.  I should have sprung for the full Panavise... it was only 3x the price... :)
