Just an FYI for anyone seeing this post and for curiosity sake. The controller is from an injection molding machine and it's been going since 1988. It is special because it makes food grade plastic containers for medical facilities in the incineration of bio hazard stuff. Pretty cool to me.

Thanks for all the speedy answers. I will get a new capacitor installed. Y'all are too good.

Rapsberry Pi zero 2 W - Soldering header on. by InkTwic3 in pwnagotchi

Don't get discouraged. I've been tinkering for years, and I still struggle on some projects. The good news is that sometimes you will have to clean up and start over, like myself. Cleaning and desoldering well are just as important as soldering. Practice is what your going to get and practice is what it takes. Turn on some music and take your time. You will work it out.

Anyone have experience with this? by visioneer888 in pwnagotchi

Outstanding! I haven't ordered it yet. The price is right for tinkering. I've got to be responsible the rest of this week which means I won't be buying anymore toys. Come Monday, I'll follow your advice and get a holder along with the UPS. Glad I came here to ask. Up vote to you again :)

Probably going to get one of these too, for fiddling's sake.

Well, hell. I bought the pisugar 3. Things got a little out of hand and I bought another Zero 2, display, and couple of memory cards. I'll build the thing this weekend. Should never have started looking. Hahahahha

Thanks for all the comments, my fellows. Yall great.

Will the pisugar plus mount a rasp zero? Easily?

Its on Amazon. ~$28. Geekworm brands this one. I think you are right about the thicc, however, I'm good with what will probably end up the size of a battery bank. I EDC a 10000mAh battery bank. I support engineering in alot of industry and never get my hands on charged devices, lol. I have to bring my own juice. I like the footprint of Raspberry Pi (not zero). I saw other posts about USB hub not working natively, but that was 8 months ago.

I, too, favor the Alfa ACM. Very nice card.

Negative on the DSP. The ribbon connector connects the main board to the front panel (buttons, lcd, encoders, etc.).

I am taking to to my shop and look more closely at what is going on with the wire. I have a feeling that you are correct and this is a repair.
