Day 1 (Jan. 28th, 2020): Make sure your metal wires aren’t touching, because then your LED lights will pop and burn out.
Day 2 (Feb. 4th, 2020): Not gonna lie, math is hard. One thing I took away from today was making sure, as long as you understand your equations, how to manipulate your values, and use a calculator, everything’s gonna be okay. Math is hard, but it’s fun once you get the answers.
Day 3 (Feb. 11th, 2020): Soldering. When you clump up some of the solder to one side, you can go back over it with just the tip of the iron and remelt it to sit better on the pin. Putting a little more solder on the pins can help close up the holes/gaps.
Day 4 (Feb. 18th, 2020): If WordPress somehow deleted all of your stuff, literally all of it. There’s a button on the right side that says “revisions” you can click that and go back to 20, 30 minute, or 2, 3 days ago to when your stuff wasn’t randomly deleted.
Day 5 (Feb. 25th, 2020): Make sure your audio source volume is all the way up when you’re using an oscilloscope (I always forget). Plus, make sure your audio cable is plugged into your audio source in general (I stared at my computer for a good minute and a half wondering why nothing was happening. And it was because nothing was even plugged in).
Day 6 (March 3, 2020): Make sure your zeroes are right when you’re converting Farads, and micro Farads, and Pico Farads.
Day 7 (March 10, 2020): Big schematics aren’t as scary as they look. Follow them line by line and it gets easier to plug things in correctly.
