Whoops
Sorry for the lack of blogging. It comes as a surprise to me that it’s been ten days since my last posting, which is probably mostly a reflection of keeping busy with Audio Damage’s latest product.
I managed to fry one of the chips on the PCB I described in my previous entry. I was measuring something with a DMM and the probe slipped off the pin and shorted two adjacent pins. Unfortunately one of those pins was connected to the +12V supply, and the other pin was connected to one of the outputs of a $20 DAC chip. That was the end of at least one, if not both, chips. Oh well.
I think I’m going to seize this mishap as an excuse to buy a hot-air rework station, probably the one described here.
