Has anybody built there's yet?
I've got a switch and LED, and looked at the website suggested but still don't quite get it. If somebody who know what there doing would like to take pictures of wiring a switch and LED up, I would be most grateful!
This thing is so much smaller than I had envisioned.

Right, I'm planning on starting to build mine this weekend, but I need to get a new soldering iron, I have one but it's too big and unwieldy to use (it's ok for putting jacks on cables etc but I don't fancy doing the circuit board with it) they have some nice small ones at my local maplins but I'm unsure if the wattage will be enough? you mention 30w in the instructions but the ones I'm looking at are 15w 17w 18w 25w will those be hot enough? what you you recommend as a minimum wattage?
cheers.

those should be just fine. 15-30w is good. i just know the 30w model at radoishack is cheap. just get somethign with a nice little pencil tip since PCBs are kinda fine work

Somehow I missed this brutally simple diagram....
Thank you, so I guess I need to pick up a resistor for the LED? Looks like a run to radio shack is in order.

yeah, exactly...cool, I'll grab the one that feels the easiest for me to work with.
cheers Eric.

I totally built one! And it works!
Too bad my licsense plate idea for a case is not working out...need to find a suitable case!
I hope the next one goes a lot smoother. Soldering is not as tough as I was worried, and I started to get the hang of it.
Impressions from the 2 seconds I got to play with it. Really nice and warm, good clarity.
