Using DuPont connectors in the ZIF socket made it wear out a bit. The first three positions don't grip as tightly as they should. So I modified my component tester. Now it has a three pin DuPont socket at the top. I like how it looks.
I should've done it from the beginning.

I managed, to only burn my fingers, ONCE!

But I did it. I HF-modded a UV-K5. Furthermore, I did it without magnificaion, and without the correct sized soldering iron tip. Who wants to bet how long before it detonates?

I am 90% certain that the capacitor you have to replace is 0201 footprint.

A Quansheng UV-K5 handheld radio with the cover removed, showing the circuit board. A green resistor has been added just beside the display, an additional daugher board has been soldered on with a haphazard looking blob at the top (ground connection), and a series of solder jumpers from the existing board to the daughter board on top of it. There's even one solder connection that required a miniscule piece of copper wire to make the connection. The 16-pin DIP IC in the center of the daughter board isn't even as long as my thumb is wide.

Since the #Commodore #monitor already had solder points for a #RGB #SCART connector, I decided to make use of this and enable it to be used with my #Amiga 500. It was relatively easy and I didn't even have to pull the board out of the case.
Now I can use the monitor for all my Commodore computers.

First Part of the 2nd Prototype of the #SteamDSOled

My brother helped me design and 3d print this display frame. Next we need to design a clamp to attach it to the deck

First prototype Steam Deck OLED add on. A bit clunky. Need to get a shorter usb-c to HDMI cable. But still it's amazing how colorful, bright and sharp the 2nd Screen is.

Ayant quasi une Profire2626 en pieces, je sent que je vais me faire un modd de la partie analogique, pour upgrade celle qui fonctionne.
J'ai trouvé cette doc http://zvukofor.blogspot.fr/2013/07/profire-2626-modding.html, mais je cherche encore quelques indication : quels ampli-op, pour le préamp, quels condos (marque et capa)...
Des idées ?
Pour l'instant je zieute les opamp NE5532A et OPA169x de chez TI, c'est bien on peut en avoir jusqu'a 20 gratos :D
