They are cheap to make $3 for the module and program via a st-link cable.

How much is your time worth? They are way more than $3 LoL

Plus months of shipping time for the modules

Yeah, I had thought to figure that out at some point. and program a bunch and give 'em away at cost.
looks like @Scepterr is ahead of me there though.

I never figured out which exact module to buy where and stalled out. :slight_smile: because even on 3.65 my hw-10 doesn’t let me connect vesc-tool so that’s annoying. got metrs now though.

It sure is desoldering the pins is a pain if you don’t have a sucker.

I love the sucker ideaer… but chop the plastic a-tween the duponts and pull them out one by one… easy-peasy

The pins are also via damaging a via will stop it working it’s how the layers of the board talk to each other.

flush cuts… heat the pins and pull the bitches… I have the highest regard for someone with the ability to pull a whole row of dupont pins out…

I have as much time for that as @b264 and I do for facebook… I kin take out a 10 row of duponts in like 20 secs one at a time… heating the whole row… I’d make a @KaramQ mess of it…

That would work 400c of hot air on the bottom of the board then pull out.

What ever happened the ESCape ESC’s they were the the ducks nuts v6s where did they go. Are the Gerber files around?
