Another way is to solder direct to the board but have strain relief holes which the wire routes though. There are footprints for this in kicad.

Set the iron to the temp listed on the solder's datasheet. Use a larger tip for higher heat transfer. Don't increase temp...this is how people burn boards and lift pads.

Not just the wire...the entire joint needs to be heated equally (ideally) and then the solder is touched to the heated joint. Any time you touch the solder to the iron it will burn off the flux and cause cold joints. Never put solder on th

The Aoyue hotair station I have has a soldering iron which is a clone of a hakko 936. Uses the same tips even. I almost exclusively use my Metcals now...the Aoyue has a tip for inserting heat set brass inserts to 3d prints nowadays, I don&

I have been thinking about this for a while...I cannot think of a way for it to be possible to profit from housing without causing poverty. People say a lot of things as fixes: 1) Build more: this only works if they are affordable to the p

North Idaho here. We have Lewiston, ID and Clarkston, WA is just across the river. Tons of references to them around here too. Also, The Mullan trail came through here...so we have a lot of stuff named after that expedition As well as the

I wasn't the one doing the work on it and I may be incorrect about how it was working. It was at a level where it wasn't a simple update software fix...it required more. Asking now to see about specifics. What I do know for sure

I still have one at the shop in a box. I will look when I go there.

That depends. Can those headphones store any amount of information and possibly relay that information to another bluetooth device upon connecting to that? If not...are you absolutely sure it isn't? Anything with memory, a transmitt

About 8 years ago one of our devs purchased a couple Android tablets from China to test if they would work as a host for Smoothieware (and/or 3d printers). It had malware prebundled at the ROM level. You could not remove it by wipin

Yeah...Spokane/Cd'A area isn't a small region. Even though it borders rural. I was told once it was the largest metropolitan area on I90 between Seattle and Minneapolis. There is a lot of nothing out there.

Without the casino opening in 1993 would they have been able to afford to gain traction on that suit? The whole lake should be a superfund site...but that would have ruined tourism. The Silver valley has been well known and from what I kn

I can only speak from my observation of the tribes local to me. In the 80s and early 90s the reservation was very poor on average (entire area is/was rural so it wasn't just on the res but it was significantly worse there). If yo

Ferrets vocalize quite a bit and I fully expected them to be on the list before I checked. Anyone who has had one as a pet knows they laugh when tickled and "talk" quite a bit. When they are happy they make a hard to explain &quo

I agree. Coeur d'Alene, ID here. My advice to "new to the area" people when the topic of snow driving comes up is "go to a parking lot...put your car into a slide, spin, etc". It gives you a very good idea of what

Absolutely...very important. Driving too fast on ice is very dangerous. Although, I would argue it is even more risk to drive significantly higher or lower than the average speed being maintained by the traffic flow. If you do not feel sa

There was only about .5-1" of snow at the bottom...while on the top of the pass was easily 4-6" on the road. Agreed...drive the speed which you feel safe. The point was that to the people who don't see snow "any snow&qu

Well...certain areas. I myself get excited when it is snowing and I get to drive. Seattle tends to lose it's mind when there is barely any snow...but as soon as you get past Issaquah people start driving like they have been in snow be

I believe that is new in 6.0. IIRC...one of the reasons I started using 5.99 nightly was because it had that feature.

One thing I have noticed in opensource projects is very often a lack of proper, well written technical documentation. Very likely some of the same developers who you are looking up to are stressed and having issues finding time (or the word

I have worked a very similar way for the last decade. My company works largely in OSHW/OSS and I consider the work I do for closed source companies as "extra stuff" that I expect no long term income from. I am a one man show
