The Baby 8 Step Sequencer - A powerful, time consuming and moderately easy circuit to build. This was a big first for me, because not only was it a step up from the APC, it's also the first circuit I've ever built on a PCB without linear rails built into it.Meaning, I had to connect everything underneath the hood myself, and it was a VERY surprising first time success *knock on wood*.I wanted to go with a Mad Scientist-type theme with this one, as my eventual project "Joe Cool & The Ghoul School" will require it while I wear a bunch of modules (The "Ghoul School" and plug them into it. I couldn't resist the baby head because, well, it's a Baby 8.C'mon. I built it into a Child's Playskool workbench toy for the housing, and repainted it to get rid of the vibrant ugly clash of colors that attract children from across the land. This is not for children, though a child could use it easily enough. The inspiration to mount the Circuit to the outside of the front is an homage to my love for open-display Desktop Computers, and it also served as an easy place to bring the wires to the second PCB on the back that connects all of the LED's, Switches and the Battery. This project took me a week to complete, working on it here and there, but the work has paid off and proven useful, because I can use it with my Wearable Modules and it's got a rugged structure so moving it and keeping it taken care of hasn't been an issue.
