soon for the hard part.. the programming..

No the hard part will be debugging the fucking thing. Huge fucking stray capacitances and totally unreliable connections. Don't waste any fucking time on it until you have built a proper pcb. This is the 21st century man.

1. Schematic capture
2. Analyze design
3. Build prototype pcb
4. Program
5. ???
6. Profit!

Throw that piece o' shit plastic thing away. Now.

I noticed the lcd. is that supposed to be something like an mp3 player (home built)?

From other thread:

> I dont think that this avr, clocked at 8Mhz, will be abel to decode an mp3 stream,

Possibly not. But there are faster AVR based microcontrollers out there. Also, the AVR core is VERY efficient. Compared to the klunky old 8051, the AVR can uses about a third of the instruction count (lines of assembly code) and one _25th_ the number of clock cycles to complete an average task. That means that for math intensive applications (like decoding mpeg streams) if you really work to optimize your code, you can get an 8mhz AVR to do the equivalent work of an 200mhz 8051 (assuming such a thing actually existed).

Of course, there would still be the matter of total bus throughput etc., but it _might_ be possible. It would take a hell of a lot more work than plugging in a prefab solution like the vs1001k.

I'm afraid I really have to agree with this advice, though maybe not the attitude under which it was given. And not just stray capacitances. I see a lot of inductance problems. All those monster loops are going to bite you in the ass trying to get this thing to work. And then, at the end of it, you're only going to have a wire rats nest as a final product. If you're really going anywhere with this, you're eventually going to have to make a PCB version, so you might as well save yourself a lot of grief by designing and making the PCB up front.

For the time you've spent kludging up your surface mount sub-boards, you could easily have designed a good printed circuit board. Because you're using turn key component solutions like the vs1001k, your circuit schematic is almost trivial.

You've said you don't know how to do it, but it's really very easy. They have the supplies at radio shack and digikey (if you're a hard core do it yourselfer), and there are several good and inexpensive programs out there for board design (hell, there's a free one from GNU, but it's a pain in the ass to use).

There's a company out there (I can't remember its name) that gives away their own PCB design software. You can use it to design your circuit board, and then upload it's (proprietary) format output data to their website and order small run boards from them for only a couple of dollars (probably less than you've spent on wire and perfboard so far).

For simple projects like this, it's the easiest and cheapest way to go. And it will free up your time from a lot of painful board debugging so you can spend it better on usefull work like code debugging.
