Nice build, I don't think I've seen a square host before :D


ts - ''How do you get the solder to bridge the gap''

Did you find an answer to that?

I recently tried myself but it was a lot harder than I thought it would be. The solder just seemed to drop through the gap and by the time I managed the blobs were huge and needed filing down. I cocked it right up whatever I did because I killed the driver :D

Wiping worked best for me. I tried using solder paste but that just bubbled up on the outer ring. Occasionally I would get a wipe that would work.

I guess running a small (uninsulated)!wire across would work too.
