Doesn't matter to me. Might as well continue using club100 at least for now I guess.
I just built another 2 boards and all in all the existing method isn't too bad as long as you aren't trying to produce them in numbers. I found an easier way to extract the pins than pulling with pliars. By cracking open the insulator with cutters, cutting in-line with the pin. They popped loose pretty easy. It's actually a pretty neat hack you found there. The end resulting leg is tidy. Thanks again for providing this. -- bkw On Nov 4, 2017 5:58 PM, "Stephen Adolph" <twospru...@gmail.com> wrote: > Not at all.
