It has been busy here and I have not had much time for the robot the last few days.
Tonight, I had a few minutes and decided that even though I am tired, I would try and solder up a few things on a small circuit board. It turned out to be a mistake. After the first hole, the flux heated up and ran down the board and the solder just melted together on some contacts.
This messed up my board beyond repair and I put the soldering iron away. Bad luck for me.
I think I am going to keep designing the circuit in Fritzing and then make a board of my own so that I can solder to traces instead of on these small boards...but I still might have to make a prototype on one of these to make sure the circuit works.
Tomorrow, I will connect up a few components and try again!
