This thing looks great.
I love the trend of people making well-documented kits that I have a good chance of fixing if they break. I'll have to scrounge up an old ATX supply-- I think I just threw my last old one away a few months ago.
- memset 15y agoThanks so much! The documentation took a long time. I went from no documentation, to a 30 megabyte PDF I created with OpenOffice (not recommended), to borrowing a friend's light box and buying InDesign to create a pretty neat assembly guide. Incidentally, the Adobe Suite might be the first proprietary software I have ever purchased (well, besides an occasional video game.) I have not regretted the purchase and it runs well enough for my purposes on a VM. <salespitchmode>You never know when an old ATX supply will come your way, or when you'll get the urge to work on a neat electronics project. Better to have the tools on hand, order today!</salespitchmode>
- pingswept 15y agoThe photos are great-- I think the lightbox was worth it. I'm not sure about InDesign. Wouldn't it have been pretty easy to make a web page that had roughly the same appearance as the PDF?
- memset 15y agoThis is true. I wanted the flexibility to attach PDFs, print them out, let people save them to their computers, change my URL, etc - without breaking anything. Plus, it is much easier for me to update the document via a GUI rather than trawling through HTML+imagemagick just to resize an image or something. But it is a good point; I may change this in the future?
