Re: Keeping as many stock connectors as possible—cutting PCB
True. It doesn't hurt to wear a mask though...Kilren wrote:While this is completely true, the amount (the measurement alone should give you a clue, parts per billion ppb) is so minute that it will have no significant or lasting effect. Now, the problem arises when you are constantly in an environment where you are subject to it. Think of it this way, one exposure to second hand smoke will not give you cancer or any other negative side effect, your body will have time to heal and not be overwhelmed. Constant exposure or lifetime exposure will do damage.crispy_tofu wrote:Dust from a PCB is usually some mix of fibreglass and resin, which really isn't healthy to inhale.
Now, there are a few things that you never want to be exposed to. This is not one of them. Wearing a mask is safe, and good practice (and good habit), but absolutely unnecessary for this.
If you do feel the need: Dust Mask

I did it!
That power jack is kind of a bitch to get out. The rest of the components were much easier once i got a hotter soldering iron but the power jack will take more work.

I am liking the way this is coming together! How are you planning on attaching the Pie to the case? Also, do you think it will fit nicely after all of the connections are made to the Pie?Cannikin wrote:Cut the corners off the Zero and it nestles right in there!
Re: Keeping as many stock connectors as possible—cutting PCB
Right now I'm using little squares (like 1/4" x 1/4") of this stuff: http://www.amazon.com/Scotch-414-DC-Ext ... B009NP1JQC It sticks UNBELIEVABLY well, but you can still remove it (with some work) and re-apply if you need to move something. So far the only things that are hotglued are parts that are going to have a lot of pressure applied: the L and R buttons, and my two female USB sockets (one at the Ext. Connector opening and the other in the battery compartment).Photonicide wrote:I am liking the way this is coming together! How are you planning on attaching the Pie to the case?

I've got a pretty good sized gap between the back of the Pi and the screen's control board once the two halves of the GB are connected so I should be okay. I might even add some male/female header connectors wherever the front and back halves need wires between them, so I can completely separate them if need be.
