Hi knc1, first of all I feel that I should thank you for all the contribution you've done to this forum, I've seen your nickname on countless posts helping people out.
I've received your original reply, and will take your advice mentioned here, as it's fair. Just for clarification, what I've replied as "good method" was avoiding having to solder. Should I delete these previous posts as they're off-topic? |

The question comes up often. This using pins held in place by piece of foam has been popular. Just be careful that the foam is not conductive. No harm would be done. But things will not work as expected. One person did that (accidentally) and it took forever to figure out what was wrong. |

With a little bit of practice the soldering is not too hard if you have a magnifying glass. |

I think the unspecified requirement is that you should be able to hold your breath that long. For any other (longer) inter-action, yeah the foam idea is hard to use. |
