[LASS Soaring] Aiptek Mini -Pen Cam 3 , # 2 done in 7mins!.

[GordySoar at aol.com]

Well okay so I thought I could get the second one done in 5 mins but I got  
interrupted by the dogs needing to go outside.
 
Tony is right it takes a sharpened point on the soldering pencil but mostly  
it takes a clean tip and not much solder.
 
After tinning the ends of the servo lead, I trim all but a dot of wire left  
outside the insulation.
 
A clean tip makes sure that you 'heat the work, not the solder', the key to  
soldering anything electronic ..quickly.
 
To make the connection I first do a trial fit of the two connections and  
then just do it.  All three spots went dot dot dot and done, then I use the  
soldering tip to notch the side of the case for the wire to exit, arrange the  
extra wire inside, plug the memory chip back in place, put the actuator button  
back in its holder and close up the case.
 
I'm sure Tony just wanted Tony just wanted to make sure none of you guys  did 
it so only we would be taking photos and videos with out planes :-)
 
If anyone would like to use the tiny Volz male and female connectors to do  
their camera instead of the JR type connector coming out of the camera let me  
know I'll see if I have a few spares
