I hate my new tools too!

2005-08-31 by Lasse Madsen

So I purchased "The Cable AVR" and what a cable it is... finding out after
plugging in the damn thing that it doesn't have a STK200 interface connector
so my board power supply went straight where that damn cable was going - To
hell if it doesn't get going soon

After researching the damn thing I find that I need to make an interface
board that can interface between the industry standard STK200 and PRLLC's
own system so I cut up the 10 pin connector and rewire the damn thing while
I'm swearing and almost slitting my wrist in agony....

After having spend about an hour making the new haywire board look as nice
as it gets I plug it in again, having installed the drivers before I plug it
in to the USB plug ... windows wont recognize the driver ... Surprise
Surprise... I spend another hour trying a lot of things ending up with a
solution that works... or so I thourght

Now "The Cable AVR" works sometimes ... literally ... 

I'm through with second hand junk that never works lets start a union
against second hand shit and inferior tools I'm not only speaking about
software tools but also those damn cheap screwdrivers that break when you
screw a screw into a hard surface... I'm telling you I'm on a postal rampage
and ready to strike down hard on anything not working these next few days 

Now I know what PMS feels like! 

Sorry to keep the thread going I'm just so pissed off :/

Regards
Lasse Madsen
