Well unfortunately I seem to have one of the parts deliveries that "gets lost".. 5 weeks and counting now.
I am sure it will show up, but man this is a buzz kill on the build. I am going to start desoldering the ports from the donor board.

Re: Bikerbob's H5 C1 build
Well here are some pics of my desoldering work today. Yihua 948 .. does the job.
Re: Bikerbob's H5 C1 build
For those following.. as it usually works, as soon as you complain your stuff did not show up.. it shows up!
I have my bits..
BUT - later yesterday afternoon as I was desoldering the WD controller from the donor board my desolder tool stopped heating up.. its a Yihua 948.. and from a video I watched on Youtube. I think it is the thermal fuse? I will open it up today and check it. One thing that throws me about this device is sometimes I get smoke from the machine itself.. I never find anything wrong, but I am not sure what is heating up inside the machine. Nothing there to heat up.. but I will inspect again.

Re: Bikerbob's H5 C1 build
Seems it was not the thermal fuse.. sigh.. and a heating unit is as expensive as replacing the whole gun.. So it is on order.
Hopefully this one lasts longer than the initial one.
Is there a youtube video or anyone documented the build process?? I am just not sure what everything on the board does?? aka settings.. also are there things I need to add.. I guess I will build everything I know how.. and then show a picture and ask if there is anything I am missing.. but jumper settings would be great.
Where can I read about those?

Re: Bikerbob's H5 C1 build
OK, so I have everything in place. I have not soldered everything in. I also have the decoder board that is not shown.
Is there anything I am missing besides jumper pins and blocks???
Thanks
James

Re: Bikerbob's H5 C1 build
OK, I am all soldered up!
Exxos, the decoder has the row of pins on the bottom.. would I be ok to put that in say slot 2.. and soldered the pin row rather than what I did.. putting it in a socket?
