Open Thoughts, Electrical Engineering, Computer Programming, Music & Oldskool Technology.

I design audio gear, compose music and build experimental musical instruments.
That's awesome, same here!
This is how I've always seen it.

That's cool. I didn't think about the lower impedance. learn something new every day. : }

I'm used to seeing the ground tap in the middle.

But doesn't really make much of a difference other then invert the output phase I guess.

Hey Blod.

Yes. I've made some more progress on this. I'm building a bigger prototype now that is a 10x12 grid. : }

SMT is it's own monster.

I always start out with thru hole components and adapter boards. But as things get closer to completion. I switch over to the surface mount components. : }

I might be. I'll need to check out the game a little more.
Looks interesting from what I see.
