this game is really good pls back it https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/zadbox/dimhaven-enigmas

the modular connector i praised earlier in this thread has been nothing but hell the entire day. there's a bad contract gremlin somewhere i can't pinpoint. i've put fresh solder wherever i could. every time i reflow a joint something new happens

astonishing how something so promising goes south so quickly

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

holy mother of bodge.

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...

i have a perfectly working eyemodule2 but the color pictures off that model don't inspire me much. the first-gen eyemodule is much rarer and i'll do my damndest to fix this unit

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

it's not unsalvageable but i need a break. i'll try more later and hopefully i won't have burnt the pads off the board. removing the entire thing to replace with a new part is probably going to be harder without a hot air gun

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...
