Today, I decided to perform some tests on the Toner Transfer method for etching your own PCBs. I took the basic idea from Thomas Pfeifer's site. I gathered all the required materials, and started with a simple, ATtiny 2313 based circuit (done in Inkscape %-) that some day shall end in a midi mapper, allowing me to play drums in Blofeld's multi-mode with my channel-restricted MPD18 (one channel per bank).

Yes, you've read right. I've been shot at. Three times. With paintballs, luckily, but still, on the highway, doing a hundred kilometers per hour. I was in a totally unsuspecting mood when I suddenly heard a sound somewhat like kadaplonk coming from the roof, and wondered what the hell was going on. My mind raced through a whole set of different questions ranging between what kind of insect could be this huge? and is the car breaking up already?.

In an attempt to keep the dust of what I've learned back in school, I once again started a couple electronics projects. Mainly microcontroller and LED based, tho. A 7-Segment-Display here, an ATtiny13-based 6-LED bargraph replacement for my harddisc LED there, and there are still a couple stepper motors I have lying around that would like to get my attention. And last but not least, there's the 12-LED binary clock that I want to build for a buddy of mine.
