- tomcam 10y agoPainfully obvious – and I never thought of it myself! Thank you
- polyfractal 10y agoAh, yeah, I can see how that would have helped tremendously. Thanks for the tip! :) I cringed when I saw this at the top of HN because I knew the shame that is my soldering skill would be seen by a few hundred people :)
- joezydeco 10y agoBeen there done that myself. My early works are masterpieces of kapton-tape strain relief because the joints were so bad.
