My great tip for the day.

So trying to remember where everything goes when you flip the board over for soldering just did my head in. I had to flip it back like every 3 seconds to make sure i soldered the right pin,not a good solution. I figured there must be a batter way. How about i just google pinouts for the ICs i use,paste them inot GIMP and just flip the picture there ?



Voila! No more turning the board around. YAY!

Obviously this one is resized much smaller than the picture i use to fit the forum.

It get's kinda hard to read with the text mirror imaged and double and triple check so you don't flip the images the wrong way. Did that a few times at first myself.

EDIT: GIMP tip nr1 i just noticed you can just copy/paste images directly from the browser,no need to save them to disc first.Yay!

EDIT2: Copying the schematics of what you're trying to build into that picture doesn't hurt either.
