I'm building a PSOneP
Moderator:Moderators
Well, I'm just a kid, I bought Ben's book. My parents let me get all the stuff I needed, but it cost a little bit more than I expected. Anyway, I just want to receive some tips or suggestions because this is a pretty much one-or-nothing opportunity, I really don't want to screw up. Even though I'm folowing the instructions from a book, I'm just afraid of doing something like frying it because I hear so many people frying their systems and having to buy new ones. Any suggestions or tips I should know before I get started? I'm building Ben's hand made PSOneP, but if its too big to fit in my pocket or something, I'm thinking of redesigning the case.

I guess size doesn't matter THAT much, so I'll ignore making my own case. Static bracelet? What does it do, and where can I get one (can i get one at radioshack?). I'll try practicing soldering.
In the book, it said I needed tact switches, which were the only electronic stuff I couldn't get from radio shack and I had to get on Digi-Key. Now the problem is, my parents won't let me order online. Is it possible to get this in a store?

static bracelet is a bracelet you wear to get rid of the static electricity in you body. You can get em at Radioshack, or you can just periodically touch a piece of metal around the house, a doorknob for example. Save you money for the handheld, dont bother with the bracelet.
They let you get the stuff, as you said in the beginning, but dont do online orders? Ehh, thats strange. I thought RS would have em. I got nothin'.

touching a doorknow doesn't always get it also when your working you can generate it.soundwave wrote:static bracelet is a bracelet you wear to get rid of the static electricity in you body.

Then I'll just have to work on my electronics nakedHK-47 wrote:But your cloths rubbing against eachother can cause static too so your never safe.gannon wrote:My workshop only has a cement floor so I don't really have to worry much about static generation
My networking class at school has a carpet floor and I get shocked in it all the time
Ouch! Solder burns hurt a lot....maybe I should have worn underwear...
I actually wrote "unless you decide to do stuff naked", but I deleted it before I posted...
