Subject: Re: Testing modules and DIY stuff

I test 'in situ'. My scope is right next to my rig, though truth (and
I know truth is relative) be told is use it mostly for the pretty
waveforms :>

My most useful debugging tool is my VOM. I can usually spot an
correct errors, but every once in a while something comes along that I
cna't figure out. Embarrassingly, that included a chip I soldered
into the 480 BACKWARDS and could n't figure out why the HP channel
didn't work :/
