Yes, TI, I am planning on using your MSP430 for a weapon of mass destruction.

Oh and yeah, I've decided to get the MSP430.

This will be a rough power supply board, I will solder my selfmade bridge rectifier to it and the mega-capacitor, and also mains power.
The bridge rectifier made out of 4 pairs of diodes:

50 Euros gets you a 1200 * 1200 DPI laser printer these days, or you know, use a ruler?

I decided to drop some liquid solder into water just for fun, and this is the result:
[t]http://i55.tinypic.com/29ymghu.png[/t]
2 of the drops exploded on impact, splashing water everywhere, and now they look and feel like a very fine sponge! It even soaks up water. It's possible to squish it and also pull apart.
Amazing, I love discovering stuff like this!
I remember when I made this little sculpture out of solder once, it was a stick figure from lengths of solder wire stuck in a star shaped base. :buddy:
But then I melted it :(
I just got my Arduino. After seeing everything you guys are doing I feel very inadequate with my breadboard, but I already made the video, so:

(the servo's a bit damaged. I didn't want to risk a good one)

I have people who do all of this shit for me. Not even that expensive, and less chemical shit with the etching process

Doing it yourself is part of the fun, and as for paying someone to do it $20-50 per batch is expensive when you just want a prototype.

Why bother with the PCB, rather than just using wire or even soldering the bridge rectifier straight to the top of the capacitor ?

Also I prefer everything sitting on a board, I'll have more than enough room in my case.
It seems you're rushing it alot, you could at least make it a through hole design?
I already said that my drillbits are too big. The smallest I got is 2mil or something like that,
I'm new in the whole electronics scene and am trying to understand transistors. Would this schematic work? If not could you help me better understand?

I'd help, but I'm not quite sure what you're trying to accomplish.

I assume you're trying to do a basic transistor switch circuit, the problem with your design is that the base-emitter junction is reversed biased so it won't work as you expect (or at all depending on battery voltage).

And when doing a schematic, always put the most positive voltages at the top, not the bottom.
Also place components left to right not the other way.

I wonder if this capacitor is a bit oversized...
I just managed to send "hallo welt" (Hello world) from my phone to my Arduino using a normal 3.5 audio cable. The first problem was that the voltage was too low for the digital ports, so I couldn't use any preexisting libraries. The second problem was that I couldn't just send high-voltage or low-voltage. It only had voltage spikes when switching between high and low. So I had to define 0 as low and 1 as high-low-high-low-...
The implementation was rather easy, but finding out how to do everything took me nearly a week (of only <1 hour of work each day though :v:).
