Really appreciate the input! Actually an electrician by trade so good point on the multimeter. I'm 32, finally starting to delve into the world of ICs and learning about everything that I can for it. I know a decent amount already but never had the tools (oscilloscope, etc) to properly diagnose issues and/or prototype my own boards. Super excited to do so though! Have only ever replaced bad components and blown caps when obvious to the eye, which is far and few nowadays with them getting smaller and smaller lol!
Actually perked my interest big time to get into board prototyping because of my Flipper Zero
Anyway, not looking to make it extravagant or super accurate, was actually just looking at it as a possible learning experience that would just have an upside to it as well tbh!
