Attention: Usb connector could unpin

Hi,

I just will warn you: The usb connector can be loosen on drag forces.
I just unplug the batteries, touch the usb cable and hold now the connector in my hand :frowning:

How could I resolder this part? The four pins in the middle are to fine to solder them with my equipment. It’s sufficient to solder the four big pads on the left and right side?

Dang. You will need to connect the four small pins, the large ones around the edge provide the ground connection, power will come through one of the small ones.

You should still be able to do some Hexy things by using your Bluetooth adapter…

Hi,
I try to solder the Connector to the board. First: The connector has five(!), not four pins. Unfortunately I measure a short circuit between the first and second pin (nearest pins in atmega direction).
I do not know, if I connect them by soldering.
Could someone check I this is pins are both connected to +5V as default?

EDIT: Ok, it’s a shortening :blush:

I resolder the part and Hexy is working again :slight_smile:
My tipp for other people with the same problem:
Bend the five pins a few degrees downwards before you resolder the four big areas. This should guarantee the connection between board and usb port.
