Two more alpha boards are now in my possession

Different colour scheme this time

Two more alpha boards are ordered! they are being shipped tomorrow, should have them Thursday *fingers crossed*

Decided not to do any changes to the alpha PCB design yet.

Just asked for a quote from my Australian PCB supplier.

Should be ordering another small pcb batch today!

I'm far from perfect LOL

I am happy it was my mistake and not a fault on the PCB though

Pushing changes soon and then I will be placing another small PCB order

agreed gents, I will be "gentle"

I will be using a Hakko soldering station to remove the connector, it has a vacuum de-soldering gun It has worked flawlessly for me with many other components/connectors so it should work well with this one too!

my second rb25det ecu has arrived.

as soon as I can, I will post up photos of the dismantling process, connector removal and PnP PCB installation

my new BDM is also in the country, I expect it to arrive today / tomorrow
