Also, you think the one I linked would be sufficient? Apparently the board came in today (hadn't checked the mail yet), and unfortunately the Voyage has so little free space in it that its likely not possible to permanently mount/store the adapter. It MIGHT be possible to leave it in the open space that remains if you remove the weird RFID/NFC/whatever chip that is near the top, but that also removes the top magnet for the cover Last edited by Aroth; 08-10-2017 at 10:19 PM. |

Well I guess I should have asked Quitman, Overton or New London.
My family is from that area so curiosity more than anything. I am out in Odessa. As to the iron, it should work but let's ask the resident expert @knc1. |

As for hitting the pads, if I can't store the board inside the case of the device, it's kinda pointless to risk soldering to those tiny pads, so... |

As far as we know at this point, there is no way short of hardware failure, to get the device to boot the 'diags' system without using the serial port.
So from the start of the first post, up to and including the direction to enter at the u-boot command: bootm 0xE41000 the tutorial is usable. But once the 'diags' system boots - - Well, you might as well delete the part of this thread that follows that step. It is too early to say if that is a good thing or a bad thing. |

Any input on if the soldering iron I linked would be a decent replacement for the rusted mess I have now (and/or if it would be sufficient for hitting the tiny pads?)

But the soldering iron is too large, too high power, and the lowest controlled temperature setting is too hot. Use the description of this one when shopping for an appropriate size and type of soldering iron: http://www.electroncomponents.com/12...ed-Temperature (That one is about 9USD.) (And it is adjustable temperature not controlled temperature - a point that probably got lost in the translation.) |

Oh well, a permanent install can't happen anyways because of the lack of usable space on my device so I'll probably just get the one I saw on amazon as a general purpose iron and figure out a no-solder method of connecting. |

And it does not take a very big hole in the case to run three 30guage wires out of it. Just tape them flat to the back when not connected to an external adapter. |

I might look into capping the wires with a connector that I can plug into a matching one coming of the adapter board. Might be enough room for something like that. The conductive paint is that stuff they use to repair window defrosters on cars right? Can buy it at an automotive shop? Thinking you place the wire on the pad, put a drop of the paint to cover both and then maybe use an epoxy or even hot glue to seal it? |

I used a radio shack special on mine, but I did ruin the first motherboard, pulling pads off the pcb.
How does this one look, it says it has control down to 200 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06WLHQSH5. Or what temp would you recommend? I didnt think 60/40 melted till about 200. |
