RC-Hangout

I decided to swap some pins around on my board, to make things tidier.
Big mistake. Re-soldering pins is fiddly.
I ended up damaging the contact points on two pins beyond repair
So I have ordered a new Nase32 board from HK EU store.

Gutting lee, I had hell on earth myself and I ended up having my daughter pull on the pins while I added heat, not pretty but I got it to work,

Not too bothered Kev.
It was a freebie anyway.
This will be my first nase32.
Just popped a spare CC3D in my ZMR. Flies awesome

Unlucky Lee. you will enjoy the Naze. They are pretty cheap if you solder them yourself:)

Got one for the New 4S Pro Quad.
The ZMR will stay on CC3D. Its flying great.

I changed the pins on one of mine recently but I managed to score a proper desoldering gun a few years back.
Comes in real handy for this sort of thing.

It can be done by gently teasing off the plastic grid parts of the header pins, with a pair of long nose pliers. A little drop of wd40 help's them slide off a bit easier but it does take a little patience. Then the pins can be heated and pulled, one at a time. I pulled a wire from an old servo connector and plugged it on to each pin as it was being removed, to give me something to hold and gently pull on the pin as I heated it.

I like the idea of using an old servo wire to help pull the pins out, i recently desoldered the pins off a frsky rx and toasted my fingers a few times. I will definatly be trying that next time.
