RCU810s available
Posted: Tue Oct 28, 2003 10:43 pm
I've just acquired a few more RCU810s which I have modified and are now available for sale, $30 each.
Here's how I did the mod. First I dropped some hot glue onto the PCB end of the 6-pin and then positioned it in place with just a fraction of the pins showing through. This glob of glue will serve to not only hold the pins in place but also act as a cushion to stop you pushing the pins through.
Next, I soldered the tips of the pins onto the PCB.
Finally, I put a bunch more hot glue around the base of the 6-pin to ensure it's totally secure. A very professional job, even if I do say so myself.
So, who needs a new RCU810? For the newbies, it's an 8 device learning remote with LCD screen.
