Moayedi - Week 5

My latest road bump is that Mammoth Electronics won't provide a schematic for me to reference. They say it's "not in their policy"...however in the meantime I've been trying to get this particular situation sorted out where I placed the wrong diode on my PCB board.I have one 1N4001 diode and two 1N4148 diodes. I accidentally put my 1N4001 diode in the wrong place, having soldered it where a 1N4148 should've been. I've asked Mammoth if this would be an issue or if it would still be ok the way I accidentally placed it. If not then I'll have to desolder (which I'm terrible at and Sudhu wants me to learn because desoldering is a valuable life lesson and it's worth me wasting all my time doing so).

Lastly, I have soldered one of my IC chips straight to my board without a holder because, surprise surprise, I'm an autistic 22 year old who's knowledge on electronics is similar to an autistic 4 year old. In the mean time, I'm trying to get everything sorted out and hoping Sudhu will stop making condescending remarks like "well I told you this in Electronics 1 and 2..." while eating a salad his girlfriend made for him out of his garden. SUDHU PLEASE JUST HELP ME!
