I routinely use cut off component leads on the thermistor board - simply because they are laying there in the bench. If you stick them into a black foam block, you can get 3 or 4 aligned at one time before soldering (it is just faster that way.
Another hint is to cut the 8 leads at an angle (so one end is full length and the others are progressively shorter) and it is easier to insert the leads into the holes. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > when it come to RP3 on the main board instead of using the green hookup > wire, is it ok to use cut leads? they are easier to work with > > -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
