My WP-34S : USB to Serial cable prototype

[MarkHaysHarris777]

Jebem,
Thanks for sharing all this stuff. I'm getting ready to go on this; I wasn't going to build the box, but have decided to go for it just for fun (I'm opting for the pogo pins since I found some cheap on Sparkfun).

I am interested if you could describe any troubles or frustrations you may have had soldering headers directly to the main board--- thanks for the pics by the way.

I will post my pics as I progress too, should it help someone. I'm going with manhattan style bread-boarding and a slightly smaller box, but otherwise pretty much your design... thanks again.

Do you plan to flash with the batteries removed from the unit? I am concerned to supply a potential charging voltage to the cells--- don't want them to explode. I know they can't supply enough juice (especially if weak) so I get the reason for the voltage add in the box.

Have you actually flashed yet, or still just in testing phase?

Thanks in advance.
