and the result is…




…it don’t work.

I did breadboard it before hand but in the process of doing the final layout I may have mixed up some resistors or flipped the transistor or made a bad solder joint.

I was overly ambitious to make my first one so tiny.

I’m going to start over later this week this time for a normal size enclosure.

That's cool as hell, even though it didn't work. Next one, though!

I’m hoping to get it into a brain implant before Elon gets his to market.

Elon seems to be interested in SS amplification, though nobody told him that it stands for solid state
