miniAtmegatron Hardware technical support / led problems
September 18, 2015, 10:59:56 AM
Hi all, having terrible problems soldering those pesky miniATmegatron LEDs in place without bridging the pads - so much so that I've now managed to burn off at least one of the pads from the circuit board. :-(
Only using a 12W iron, so you can see I had to try really hard to put myself in this powerful position.
I'm going to have to use some wire jumpers to sort out my mess.
Looking carefully at the tracks on the circuit board itself, it looks like not all of the LED legs form part of the circuit.
Can anyone confirm whether this is true or not and if it is, which legs on which led can be left unsoldered?
Any help much appreciated.
