    What I get to do this morning at work

    I have to solder wires onto this connector. Shown here with a dime next to it.

    Good thing I skipped the energy drink this morning...

    Sounds like fun.

    Hope you have a nice big magnifying glass.

    Come on, Gang. Let's save stuff like this for "FACEBOOK", as it has nothing to do concerning the VX.

    Hey riff. It IS properly placed in the 'off topic: anything non-vx related'
    plus. We have definately talked about more pointless things.

    Looks like fun Clint. Sometime I'll take a pic of the harness for a remote start/keyless entry/security. And the wiring diagram

    This place would be pretty boring if we were restricted to VX conversation only and always. I personally like to know more about the people we converse with!

    Clint, what is this piece for?

    Considering that I am a Site Supporter and that the thread is under Chit Chat, I can post what ever I want. If Moncha asks me to not post stuff then I will refrain. How about you simply dont open the threads that are labeled chit chat as they typically have nothing to do with a VX.

    Yeah, I have a remote start system at home waiting to be installed so I know how ugly it can be.

    I like making harnessing and stuff so I cant wait to get started on my Willy's. The wiring is totally trashed. The funny thing is that the schematic for it is actually a little more simple than what I do here.

    It is for a new board that we are building. It is a flex circuit and this connector is the only way to communicate to the IC on the board to validate functionality.

    I got the wires soldered to it. I didnt even have to use any magnification. I am cross eyed now though

    Luckily I only had to solder 6 of the 12 leads.



    This has to last for 500 boards as of right now. I think I will need some backups.

    Clint, I worked as an engineering tech for a few years after I got out of the Marines. The company made ceramic capacitors. I used to create and test new potentiel products that the engineers designed. I soldiered leads on parts that were about 1/50th that size so I know where you are coming from...fun, fun, fun!

    Yeah, I think I am going to need glasses soon. I can handle it no problem when its surface mount but when its the leads to wires like that, its a pain. I am a bit of a shaky guy as it is so holding that wire straight is a task.
