Should we add a thread to announce and introduce new installers?

  • Yeah!
  • Psh, I do my own stabs

Why would you be against this even if you are crazy enough to stab yourself?

Eh, an abundance of caution. In retrospect, maybe something more like, ā€œNah, weā€™re exposed to enough advertising,ā€ would have been better. Regardless, you all seem keen so weā€™ll get 'er done.

Exactly! I quite enjoy my self installs, but support those installers. We need skilled hands to stab us at levels we canā€™t stab ourselves.

RGB mod?

Hammys one?

I picked up a Wi-Fi board, transparent shell, and RGB screen backlight.

I had intentions of installing the backlight, but my crappy little soldering iron gave up on me. It didnā€™t really get hot enough when I went to use it, so I decided not to proceed. Might pick up one of those fancy looking Pinecils.

I did switch out the case though. Itā€™s lookinā€™ really good. Also managed to clean out some dust and pocket fluff that had gotten between the screen and itā€™s panel.

I did forget to put the iButton pins back in, but as Iā€™ve never actually needed to use that functionality, and they have a tenancy to catch on my pocket, so I decided not to bother fixing it.

Once I get around to the RGB mod, Iā€™ll update my Flipper Zero article.

@Pilgrimsmaster, could you edit (*****) NFC antenna amplifier/Resonance Circuit V1 & V2.1 to include a link to Hammyā€™s new website since thatā€™s where MFGC points?

Thank you :classic_smile:

If I could rate my best purchases of 2024, it would be the liteVNA and then the Pinecil V2. Seriously itā€™s an amazing little iron.

Iā€™ve long been tempted, but havenā€™t been able to justify it given how infrequently I solder.

Thatā€™s completely fair. If your current iron has a cord attached to it then thatā€™s reason enough since you can use a usb-C pd cable and power Bank.

You save room by buying it. Can clean up your work bench. And with how quick it is to get to temp you find yourself busting it out more frequently to do small fixes because itā€™s so convenient. And now that I am using heat set inserts on my 3d prints I use it even more.

I do however solder almost daily with some of my small projects and upcoming shop releasesā€¦ before I would have to drag out the little station, and wait for it to heat. Do my little job, then wait for it to cool off so I can put it away. Not now. I added a strip of Velcro to it and I just keep it and my solder cleaner on my toolbox. So when Iā€™m done, even if itā€™s still warm it just sticks on the side of my box in its home.

Edit: auto correct made this post almost unintelligible
