 You might remember I played around with Kicad a few months ago and made this [tacky little thing](/hardware/jolly-christmas-decoration/). Just about 2 1/2 weeks ago I went onto [DirtyPCB](http://dirtypcbs.com/) to get them actually made. I wanted to have gone through the production process and get something built before I started doing more complicated projects.

 Anyways, enough ramblings. Read you later.

 Right...so after tinkering with the bauble a bit I found out a few things. The most important one being that I made some mistakes. Some big ones :)
 
- - Pin 9 of the shift register was connected to both input A and input B of the XOR gate. Which meant that both inputs were always the same...which also meant that the output was always 0.
- - The 555-timer clock ran at several hundred kilohertz. I had to change the capacitor down to ~12µF and the resistors to ~4.7 ohms.
- - The coin-cell battery didn't have enough juice to run it. Two had to be put in parallel. Even then, two batteries would not be able to run for very long.

- To make the bauble work I bridget the xor gate completely, so just feeding back the shift register end to the beginning.

- In addition to those things some of the LED's sometimes didn't work. I'm not sure if that is due to broken shift registers, traces or LEDs. All in all I do consider it to have tought me quite a lot about electronics, going through the process of producing a PCB and debugging electronics once it arrived and inevidably goes wrong :)

 I am currently in the process of redesigning the entire circuite from scratch. And making it easier to solder. I want to make it into a beginner soldering kit that people can both learn how to solder with and also have something to hang off their christmas tree in the jolly season.
