The board does indeed come bare. Every component needs to be sloldered into place.
With the exeption of the processors daughter board, this can be seen sitting slightly proud of the finished board.
Good job too. I wouldn't like to try and attempt to solder those tiny IC's.
The stim arrived today, it took just under an hour to construct. I'll try and post a picy tomorrow.
With a little luck I will have an hour or two spare this week & time have a play with the configuration settings.
