I really do like how they turned out.
best thing: I don't have to wait till 39c3 \o/

kit number one is soldered - may many more come.

I'm doing weird stuff again. I'm soldering USB hubs on flex PCBs.
By accident, I ordered exactly as many 0.1uF 0402 size capacitors that I needed. BAD idea 😅
Well, I guess I'll finish it next week, after the extra capacitors arrive. 🤷🏼♂️
So each button has four legs, I'm not sure which are the important ones to connect, so after holding it back in place each got a refresh of #solder. Then I've 'reinforced' them with some hot glue (the volume up button as well), and added a 1mm shim cut from a plastic packet, between them and the battery so when it's closed up that should help hold them down from the top.
The eagle eyed viewer will notice some sellotape around the red speaker wire where I managed to burn some of the coating off with a clumsily held soldering iron.
So in almost a repeat of yesterday's issue. This time the dry #solder connection was in the front #bike light, where the switch also connects the rear lights. So it took longer to figure out that it wasn't the rear light that was broken. While I complained about yesterday's light, it did have screws to open and close it. This headlight didn't, and was an absolute bar steward to get open, as it was just clamped/glued shut.
I don't know much about #soldering, but is this common case of joints going brittle with time anything to do with the banning of lead in solder?
(For whatever reason my phone decided this picture should be blurry, so imagine I did this repair at very high speed.)
