at the resolution i want these posters the way tou downscale them makes a massive difference
pressing slightly on the corner where the broken solder joint was vs letting go of it. it's clearly a break there, but i've already reflowed all of the pins that go to the sensor... well, at least it's clearly working, i just have to fix a trace somewhere
unfortunately something is still affecting the quality... i know the eyemodule isn't brilliant, but you saw how the test pattern looked when it worked right
it's not the same footprint but it is the same pitch... if i can keep all legs straight and not bridge any of them it might work...
well.. at least all the pads seem intact. reusing the broken connector was a bust, now this won't be usable until i source a new one...
however, i do know that the sensor is still working because before i tried to put it back together and broke the springboard connector, i did manage to snap these pictures. there was still a bad connection somewhere and wiggling the camera daughterboard made it do some weird stuff, like the second picture where it went upside-down and contrasted
well shit. trying to put it back together bent and broke the pins in the connector that goes to the springboard port.
i tried bridging the gaps since i don't have a replacement but it just turned into a horror show...
HA! contact cleaner to the rescue!
the corrosion was probably causing some conductivity around where there shouldn't be
there was nothing wrong with eyemodtool after all
