And here it is! please ignore the small fires.


It was up, wired, and functioning perfectly for about 5 minutes. At that point in time it decided to combust. [ Keep in mind this is mere hours before presentations ]

Autopsy reveals that one of the 555 timers cooked, which is frankly baffling as they are rated to 15V, and the circuit had 12V sources.

Needless to to say, I am less than pleased.
