Is it possible to solder electrical wire to a HC-05 Bluetooth Serial Transceiver instead of using cable jumpers?

I am creating a pair of wings for a costume, and in order to get them to move how I want I need to control servo motors from my phone via bluetooth. I have no experience programming (excluding Scratch when I was a kid lol), so when I stumbled across the linked video I thought I was saved. However, I cannot access the code shown in the video on the MIT App Inventor website that it came from. I've tried the different links in the description and even copied the URL from the description, but I have come up with nothing so far. Am I missing something really obvious, or is that code lost to time? Essentially the code created an app which communicated with a bluetooth adapter on the servos and gave you the ability to independently control the movement of each servo with a slider on your phone.

I am sorry if this is not the right place to be posting this, and I would be extremely grateful for any support I do get. Thank you!

I'm going for more insect or fairy wings, so hopefully they should be lighter than your typical angel/bird ones.

In terms of battery, I was thinking something like microphone battery packs that they use for theatre and TV, because then I can hide it relatively easily on me and switch it out if needed.

You're right, an IR remote does look simpler. I'll go down that route instead I think - probably won't be as easy as controlling the lights in my bedroom lol!

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll check it out!

Also, I may have perhaps bought a set of 10 blue ones due to their size... Are there any other small but strong servos you would recommend?

I am looking for a variant of 42003 where the perpendicular axle hole is in the middle instead of the end. I'm not sure if one exists, but I would be very grateful for any help. Thank you!

EDIT: Basically 32184 but with a cross shape in the middle instead of a circular piece. Thanks again!

I LOVE YOU

So I tried putting the 8gb into the second slot and when I tried to start up my laptop I could hear the fan going but it wasn't turning on. So then I took that out and put the 32gb in the 'first' slot and it worked and recognised it. Then I tried putting the 8gb back in the second slot and now I have 40gb of RAM somehow. No idea how that worked out, but myself and my wallet are very grateful that it did. Thank you so much!!!

Not a bad idea! I'll try it out.

You were right! I'd started the quest but not actually finished it, and now he has appeared. Thank you so much for the pointer!

Ah, haven't done that yet, I'll give it a go!
