I really did not like the radio project at all, as it was very time consuming to create and I did not really enjoy the process of building it. The tutorials were not very high quality, and some the parts assigned to use were outright absurd. I really do not want to cut up a paint can to use as a tuner. It also cost a decent amount of money to build, and just takes up space on my shelf now. Nobody else on the forums posted about success with the radio, so I believe that the project should be substituted for another one that is a little bit easier for beginners. The most challenging part of the project was really the troubleshooting, because I could not figure out what the problem with the radio was. I was getting static, but I could not tune in to any radio stations and hear them. Honestly, the radio project makes me not want to work with electronics as much, because I failed to make the radio work. I really didn’t enjoy the assignment at all because of all the poor instructions and failed attempts of others. I doubt if any other students have succeeded at this project.
