Ok, yesterday I really thought “this is it” … “this will take forever” … “screw this!”
Just think of it. You have only one template which is needed to hold the planes in position and you really could use another template to help you solder those frickin’ horizontal ties. Sorry for my language but I was really pissed yesterday. Not pissed about the cube, or anyone involved in the development… hell no! I was pissed about me because I couldn’t think of something to help me at first. Fortunatly when I chattet with Ted about my problem he asked me if he should send me another template. Somehow that reminded me of the tape I used to fixate the template still lying on the table and I thought “hmm, how about swapping the template with tape so I can use the template for something else?” … and guess what? It worked! This way I had all ties soldered to the two planes in no time.
So this is really the time I have to thank Ted again and again for all his effort and patience with all the questions I had so far. Oh and Ted will also send me another template for better stabilization of the cube. Thank you Ted!
Soldering the cathode wires to the LED pins was a bit tricky in the end with all those loose ties hanging around but it worked pretty well.
Anyway, I think, the image above really looks like a borg cube construction-site. doesn’t it? And now remember what Locutus said:
Resistance is futile.
