Visit Preferences to set your user name Summary of change: I'm testing a flying loom using a DSUB-9 serial cable: http://www.vems.hu/files/MembersPage/MattiasSandgren/Lcd/lcd_flying_loom.jpg try to * push the wires into the pad (cut the extra part on the other side, if necessary) * use the right temperature and time when soldering (so insulation is not melt, but soldering is fine) * ask for someone's help. It takes much more time to do it nicely alone * make sure no hair is tangling - that will short sooner or later * use hotmelt after testing, to prevent damage * also cut short and insulate the hair from the cable shield ''Answer to feedback'' * It looks a lot worse than it really is, I have tested it and there are no loose strands anywhere (tinned the wires before inserting). * Because I had no help I intentionally cut of a lot of insulation because access was easier from the top, there was a lot of wire protruding through the board that I cut off after soldering. * I will use the correct solder next time, mine required almost 400C (but works great with K-type wire) * I will try to do it from below next time, with help, to save more insulation. * I'll hot-melt glue it, good tip!
