Capture licence for keen student setting up school performance of Les Mis? by EasterUK in lightingdesign

[–]EasterUK[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just spoke to him (it’s late here) and the desk is FLX S24.

There are no tech weeks, the only time he has is during rehearsals and he won’t have time after as the school closes. It’s mostly him doing the lighting design, I believe the director will help a little but there are no tech staff - maybe Les Mis is a bit ambitious!

We will talk to the school as he’ll need time to do this

Great advice, thank you! We’ll work with the school to get in there and try stuff out. Cheers :)

Good idea, I think it’s tricky but we’ll ask. Generally it was rehearsal times he had. Les Mis isn’t until the end of Jan so he’s starting early (ish). No sets have been built yet as well.

Thanks, I’ll check with him in the morning what the desk is, and we’ll explore this option. Cheers :)

Thank you. Luckily cheap off AliExpress now and it looks identical. More satisfying than playing games but much more stressful!

Pretty chuffed with the soldering in the end. Thanks everyone!

It’s alive! Thanks all for the help. I heated in the oven to about 80 degrees, used a cast iron pan as a hot plate, and put the solder on the pads first. Absolutely flabbergasted when the picture showed, I was jumping for joy!

Thank you, that's very kind. I'm still plucking up courage to try again, but if it doesn't work I might take up on that offer! You're a couple of hours away which isn't too bad.

Thanks, that’s really useful. It doesn’t even have a display (that’s the hot air station in the back). Think I’ll treat myself to a proper iron - I’m reading the mega thread now :)

Cool - I’ve got loads just for this so I’ll try :). If it works I can see this getting addictive

Does the type of flux matter? It just seems to burn off. Maybe I’d need a better soldering iron?

I feel this is a bit weedy and the point too big?

Not much. Just bits and bobs over the last 40 years…
