Morning Soldering & Programming

A project log for DIAVOX Cellphone

Turning an old diavox phone into a cellphone. No smart stuff, just a telephone. Pick up the handset and dial just like the old days.

I soldered pin headers on my Pimoroni Pico LiPo this morning. The first row went fine the second row got a bit misaligned. I should have checked the alignment after soldering 1 pin, a bit hard to insert into a breadboard but it works. I noticed my chisel for the soldering iron is a bit big, I'll have to get a smaller one if I'm going to do more detailed work like soldering wires onto the modem module.

I forked and created a new feature branch to port more examples for the pimoroni pico lipo. I tried some examples worked fine but the SSD1306 oled display example didn't work, it's probably broken. I spent some time during my lunchbreak troubleshooting, it just will not work so not worth spending more time on that, since I will not use it for my project into the junk box it goes.
