Wasabi , is there easier points to solder to ?

i noticed perviosuly on other chips , they had easier points to solder to , instead of going to the d2c chip its self.

i was thinking based on the other chips and easy to solder to points , there maybe the same for the 3 hard solder points on the wasabi.

is there a set of easy install points ?

you can solder to the vias on the underside of the board, if your not confident soldering to the ic legs.

hi thanks for the reply , does anyone have a diagram of the underneath of the board with the points clearly marked.

or could i use one of the other diagrams from another chip showing easy points to work this out ?

TIA

hi thanks for the picture , but theres easier points , basically on the bottom of the board instead of soldering to the via/pin points , for some people that will be a difficult job.

just take your time when soldering to the vias, make sure you clean any lacquer off with a fibre glass pen, then flux your wires, push them into the via about 1-2 mm then just touch the via and wire with a tiny bit of solder on the tip of your iron and it will run and fill the via ,giving you a good strong joint.

also cover any proud wires with insulating tape .
