I like this idea, too bad this forum doesnt support larger files to be uploaded.

Why? Just cuz, no real reason, I have done both, its a little quicker for me to do the via's and I actually think you get a stronger bond to the vias. Just personal preference I guess.

Both ways are about the same level of difficulty, the chip legs take more time to master though.

Spedmetal once you get the hang of soldering to the CDX pins it gets real easy.. i used to struggle with it , now i just angle my eyes so im looking sideways at the pins.. wires go on easy... a bit of a pain in the pass to have to scrap the vias. But i havent noticed any difference in modchip performance wether you solder ot vias or pins.

Saw how popular this was on Newz and ownz hey Netmech??

Unless Z has killed the thread it was the best non-sticky he had going... shame to provide him with such a useful thread - to bad one can't kill a thread one started after 14 days on ownz!

By the way the vias are so much quicker than the legs on a couple of conditions:
1) - that the vias are not overly covered in conformal coating - some times you get station that are so thickly covered that it takes to long to scrape - these I use the chip legs for, some stations how ever almost have the copper 100% exposed, on these I use the vias...

2) Obviously you need to be able to solder to vias - but typically if you can't solder to vias well then you also probably could not solder to the chip legs safely...


See here for some install examples of my own - mine are going more for reliability and short wire lengths than to win awards for being pretty... but that does not mean I don't admire the work of others like Kiezer Sozei
