Wiki wireless manuals

Hi Folks

two dla members have just recently updated the wireless v2 manuals for everyone. I would like to thank both mokeefe and NavyGator for their fine work and time they put into it.

Cheers

The new manuals were great!

The hardest thing I found is attaching the radio chips.
The easiest way I found to do this is I take white or wood glue and and place a drop on the back of the radio chip.
Then I place it on the PCB and align it perfectly.
Wait to 30 min to dry and it will hold it just enough to let you solder it without moving.

I use a piece of blue painter tape across the end of the chip.  Once you are aligned you can easily do the top 3 jolder joints, then remove the tape and solder the rest.  No waiting for glue to dry for me.  I also use the blue painters tape to hold parts in while I turn boards upside down to solder.  Works great and no residue.

I put some flux on the pads and place it on the pcb, Then hold it down on the pcb lined up and with a little solder on my iron I touch the iron to the top right pad. The flux will make it flow.

Then I do the bottom left. Then all the rest. Takes me a minute maybe total.
