In reponse to your thread

yeah we went over it in class. i was so fucking confused about getting it into metric tons. I finally got it though.

dude can i get some help on the rainfall question? im really confused

I'm sure you have more electrical engineering knowledge than me, it's all just experimenting for me.

Hope that helps

Honestly, if you have no direction at all what you'd want to make, you don't have to do all that. Get a perf board, and just wing it. Hook up a resistors and capacitors to eachother, setup an input output and experiment. It'll probably sound horrible, you'd be surprised. Devi Ever's pedals mostly only use about 3 resistors and a capacitor. Rule of thumb, if you're not using ICs, the less components you use the more wild and uncontrollable the sound will be.

You're going to want to put it in an acid bath now. This'll dissolve the copper clad for the board in all places except where the pcb design is laid-out (toner is polyurethane based and not soluble in acid). Let it swish around for about 15 minutes, take it out, rinse and wipe done with isopropyl alcohol to remove the toner and your PCB is done. That's really from scratch hard, I've never built a PCB like that because it's just so much work, but once that's done, it's basically just drilling and soldering.

I use pre-laid PCBs and circuit designs and circuit-bend them/alter capacitors and resistors/etc. I'm assuming you want to start from total scratch? In which case, find a schematic or design a schematic. I'm not great with technical stuff, more of experimenting, but if you know how to lay one out, that's a good basis. Download a PCB layout program, I think one of the more popular one's called Eagle or something like that. Get a good tutorial and set it all up. Print your PCB mirrored from a laser printer onto cheaply water-proofed paper, like a magazine page. Iron the image onto your blank board, it should transfer like a t-shirt print if you keep constant pressure with the iron and stick. Soak it in water until the paper disintegrates. You'll have your circuit design on there.

thought you would find this funny since i know you like david choe
