A broken man on a #Halifax pier. Just some wannabe,suppose I could do better. Middled aged Canadian, child of immigrants who can't relate to them. Attempting every day to be a good person to all walks of folks and life. I don't always succeed. Love all things computer related, admirer of engineers professional and amateurs especially. Hoping your motivation rubs off on me.

Finally got the switches off. Desoldering is not easy for me. Getting better but it’s not easy. Also in close proximity to other components I may have fucked up the wheel sensor, but I guess we shall find out :) I do have another spare one that needs its switches replaced too.
But first, some cleaning. Blech .. dirty sensor!
It was like there was granules of sand (but I’m sure it was food) there.
