I played with electronics for about ten years. Recently, as a result of trying to repair a USB, it failed by the way, one of the solder pads had been ripped off. At any rate, as a thank you for trying to repair it I was given the soldering pencil, stand, flux, extra hands, the whole nine. Nice! I haven't had my hands on this stuff for five years. Now I have an excuse to get back into it. The schematic included is pretty basic but it can work plus the software is available too. Double nice. There is also an SDK for a Windows port if anyone cares to give it a shot and port it to Windows. Right now its only available for Linux. That's alright...the parts I can get easily. I have the tools and my nicely warped imagination. I'm giving this a shot!
