If so... I'm tempted to try and make myself 2nd (assuming my PW2 arrives before someone else beats me to it) if people are willing to help me through the process?
Any takers? (Mine should arrive by the 9th)
Whilst I know it shouldn't make much difference, mine will be an UK PW2
It is three surface mount pads. If you have magnet wire, a decent soldering iron, and a 1.8v logic level serial adapter then it is pretty easy. You might be able to get away with no soldering and just press the wires down on the pads (this would give you a sketchy connection), but I wouldn't recommend it.

So if you want to do it I can help you through it
