The finished article
Well, after about 5 hours of soldering and such, I finally finished it and got a positive self test. Phew!
A couple of pieces of advice - a multimeter is not optional. You'll need it.
The resistor list did not match that for the parts included. I spent about an hour figuring out which resistor was going to *probably* be ok...
I've managed to flash it a couple of times, so I know that works.
Issues:
1. Wonky axle. My dodgy soldering I'm afraid...
2. One wheel did not mesh with it's gear, so I had to superglue it on.
3. The status LED only ever comes on green, when it's meant to be a three coloured affair.
More soon!
