![]() Looks pretty pro, Dom! How much fun did you have bending all those resistors

![]() Hmmm, braided copper solder wick, good to know. I had a devil of a time trying to get that sucker off there. I kept trying to tell myself, "well at least you know your soldering is good!"
![]() Do you just use any stranded copper wire (I'm assuming prepped with flux) or is there a specific product you get? I do have a desoldering pump, but go figure, I only remembered it after I'd finished. |

![]() It's also called desoldering braid. Desoldering pumps work kinda "meh". The braid works like a sponge and sucks it up real quick. It's way less cumbersome and fussy than than the pumps. The day I discovered this stuff I tossed my desoldering pump in the bin (actually it was first disassembled for useful parts, then binned ![]() |

![]() The solder wick comes on a roll
It looks similar to braided ground straps on older cars Very handy to have on hand, but I've always got by with a solder pump Nice work so far Edit: I'm too slow ![]() |

![]() Sweet thanks guys. I'll see if Lordco or The source has some kicking around here for next time, because I'm sure there will be a next time.

![]() Hey, thanks Greg! I haven't been up there yet, but now I definitely have more motivation
![]() I got some more goodies in the mail today. A ribbon cable for the LCD screen. I want to mount it in the hood so I don't have to open the cabinet door to see the screen. ![]() And the 4 driver LDD mounting boards: ![]() And thanks to Chatouille, I now realize I ordered the wrong PCB board terminals for the boards and I'll have to buy 3.5mm pitch blocks rather than the 2.45mm I have coming. Du'oh! Good thing I only paid $1.5 for ten and free shipping. ![]() Last edited by daplatapus; 01-12-2013 at 03:39 AM. |

Which of the RC guys did you get your boards from? I'm thinking I might try to grab one as well. Make sure you connect the PWM signals to ground with 10K pull down resistors. I'm excited to see your build! |
