In this video I finally put power to the Register PCB and begin testing. It does not take long for me to start finding problems. Some I can fix. Some, well....

While my mood is very heavy at the end of the video, I am still excited about this project overall. I am not giving up. This whole thing was about learning by doing. Boy!!, did I learn some lessons!

Anyway, enjoy watching this train-wreck unfold. I will pick up the pieces in the next video.
