    I have one of my esteemed customers in here working on this final year project (not 3rd year project coz this is his 4th).

    Attempting to put a resistor and an LDR (light dependent resistor) on a piece of veroboard.

    First attempt

    Mainly because all the components were soldered to one track, so there was a short from the positive supply to the negative supply.

    2.5 hours later we still haven't got to the stage of it working.



    3 wires.

    2 components.

    1 bit of veroboard.

    How difficult can it possibly be?



    Is it my fault?

    Should I have shot him on his first day 3 years ago?

    It finally works.

    There's more solder on it than you'd need to repair a kettle.

    despite the fact that I tested it & it does.

    Turned out he was measuring the 5V rail instead.
