Assembling the daughter board

 

When I got back from my Christmas break in Scotland I found the neat little package containing the DDS-60 had been delivered. I'd opted for the "kit of parts" + chip which cost $56, as opposed to the $80+ cost of a pre-assembled kit. 

This was my first go at soldering modern SMDs and these ones are small! It took a good bit of patience and stead work but it worked first time! This was a real surprise as my hands were pretty shaky...I still had the hangover from New Year's eve!

Anyway as can be seen from the pictures I got most of the bits on straight!
