So I have a few steps/options for building the Idun Cartridge..

  • Have a crash course in electronics building AND/OR
  • Have a crash refresher in reading a schematics AND
  • Have a crash refresher in reading the bands on resistors / identifying resistors AND/OR
  • hoping the blurry pictures of assembled units online are fit to get the gist (for 1 - 3)
  • Setting up a Discord account and barfing all the way.
  • I'd really assumed there'd be a bit more to go on (like build instructions).

    If anyone here knows of any online guides, or has done it before and can give a noob the 101 level intro, I'd appreciate it greatly.

    "The kit comes with everything needed to assemble the idun-cartridge"

    Except for build instructions  

    There is an interactive HTML in the repo, but it's missing component orientation for all but a few obvious things.

    I'm not an electronics builder. I'd hoped this might be like other kits I built fovever ago where all this was laid out somewhere.

    I'd also hoped for a more gentle learning curve. This is going to be a lot. I'm not keen on potentially screwing up hundreds of dollars of hardware I've waited months to get.
