Hi Karl and fellow builders,
I went down the 'Hispapanels' path for my MCP ( really bad decision ) and now have the task of getting the 6 digit displays they provide to work. I did not want to build it with their circuit board so it is as per your design but just with their front panel and displays.
My question is - what is the best way to connect wires to the 7 segment display board???? So far I have written off about 3 boards trying either to dis-solder them or solder to the little pins covered in the black protection stuff!!!! I really don't want to write off anymore.
Many thanks
Andy
Thanks Karl,
I'll give that a go.
Regards
Andy
Hi Andy,
On the 7219 boards, i use snips to cut the plastic between the female pins. Then i can desolder each pin indiviually without damaging the board.
Thenn you can connect the wires to the through holes in the board nice and cleaning.
Kind Regards, Karl
