Back to the roots.

Long ago I knew how hardware looks and actully made some simple boards. Not with much success, but I did not learn it at all, so did not expect anything serious (in those days "Bugs" was my favourite film, now I know a little bit more to understand, that it was a bit wrong :).

Abr, who recently mastered his PhD, presented me (almost a year ago :) a simple integrated circuit construction set: K8055 - USB interface board with 5 digital input channels and 8 digital output channels, two analogue inputs and two analogue outputs with 8 bit resolution.



I spent half of the day soldering it today (it was quite simple task, since board was already created and all details marked), and now board is ready. Unfortunately I do not have appropriate USB connector (square one) to test it, so it just lies here and reminds, that actually I do like such things very much. Really very much, but know virtually nothing about IC, and even in the best days in university I did not know even enough. I would like to start playing with IC now. Thinking...
