Title: Pork Barrel (the Police)
Post by: Orbis_Ignis on March 04, 2016, 02:20:28 AM
I'm not much of a fan of The Police, however I do like quite a few of their songs. But anyway, since Andy Summers was known for using a Boss Chorus, I figured why not name it that.

It came out great. Not real happy with the etch, but it's only my third attempt. I've also been using Muriatic acid with Hydrogen peroxide. I think it may be too aggressive and the etch doesn't come out clean.

Anyway, the two LEDs on top of the car blink red and blue. The two head lights are clear and come on when the pedal is on.

Thanks guys!!! I really do need to make a short video of the LEDs. I did find out that you can't put red and blue LED's in parallel together. Only the red leds will light up.

Yep, I have the board, so I will eventually. I have so many boards and want to buy more, lol. I'm definitely addicted to this hobby lol. I even have the stuff to etch my own boards, so if i can get that down I'll be spending a lot of time on Etcher's paradise. I might be able to get all done before I'm 90 ;)
