Aww maan.... I messed up my diode. I put too much solder and it stuck to all three pins (including the base of the diode as well.... :'()
Now I dunno how to remove it, since solder is rather conductive, it refuses to heat up to melt away, but transfer large amounts of heat to the diode. I'm worried if I try to desolder the blob, it'd damage the diode. I've already pressed it into the axiz module to use it as a heat sink, but I'm not sure what to do next.
Can anyone with experience in this help?
