How should I use the electrical paint in this process? |
I am sorry, I missed that you where going to use the "pin technique".
The "pin technique" is very fragile, and is intended to only work long enough to enter the commands required.
Now you have an alternative -
Secure the fine wire to the board (glue, tape, etc) with the stripped ends on the connection dots -
Complete the connection with a bit of conductive paint over the wire/connection point pairs.
(If you miss the spot - the paint can be wiped off before it dries)
This can be a much more durable connection to the board -
and the loose ends of the tiny wires can be fold back and kept in the case for future use (say, tape flat against the battery or store under the antenna cover plate).
