Upgrading a BitHead, part 2

MicHead board installed

(click for full writeup)

There is, truly, no kill like overkill. This is a story of how I spent untold tens of hours of engineering time designing and retrofitting an upgrade for the headphones amp that I keep at my desk to support a microphone input, and all for no real good reason. I jumped through contortions at every stage to get there. But, it was fun -- and that's what matters.

isn't the point of a good project to be overengineered and take way more time and resources than it ought to? :D

This sounds a little like how it goes with me when I decide to create my own copy of a board game :-) The first one (Settlers of Catan) cost as much in parts alone as a new copy of the actual game. But, like you said, as long as it's fun!
