desolder – resolder

Desolder and resolder with cat5

I should have thought this through better. All the edge holes need tow wires to fit in them. One from the inside board and one going to the break-off shield part. Using 22 gauge and the wire doesn’t fit. I have no idea why I soldered all those up without doing teh 2nd wire, I just wasn’t thinking. Now I’m stuck desoldering all the connections. I had a bit of a desperate freak out trying to find thin enough wire. Cat5 to the rescue, it’s almost perfect size. So I’ll be doing this backwards leap this afternoon and this evening. Maybe it’ll be done by tonight and the soldering will be over.

Note to anyone else starting one of these. The soldering of the boards is way harder than the components. So don’t have the feeling you’re almost there when you’ve done with the LED’s, Diodes and the shield. Im my opinion that’s just under the halfway mark of effort.
