LVB Tracker - back on track - again

Well after a flurry of family issues all related to hospital visits I am now tearing myself away from the residual work to start working on trackers. Everyone is OK!

Started out building 11 boards 2 weeks ago. Then last weekend added 9 more to the pile for a total of 20. Guess the orders at AMSAT-NA headquarters are building up.

This afternoon we will attempt to mount all the ic sockets on the last 9 started and if Halloween doesn't take too much time I hope to get the boards finished up to the point I can flash the pics. This will take a concerted effort cause I've been drawn into skype video, voice and text chats with new and old friends worldwide. All the fun of hamradio less the radios. Sad.

So let's get to it!

Well we did get the ic sockets mounted to the nine additional boards added to the latest build. Now all twenty boards are in sync. Mounted the pot and almost got the crystal mounted when the need to get to household domestics arose. We vacuumed up some leaves and got ready for the Halloween beggars. Glad that is over. By the time dinner was over it was nine pm. Got sucked into computer activities and never resumed work on the trackers. Better luck tomorrow although any progress is good since it is so easy to focus on other things. I need more discipline, time and money. Not necessarily in that order.
Off to dreamland.
