as long as the logic level is the same and you don't directly short power to ground, you're probably fine

you missed the part where I said I didn't need one :P

I mean, I have all of the skills/equipment needed to solder one together myself.... That said, I don't really have a need for one :P and I could probably just whip my own board up if I really needed to.

B-beautiful :')

@Aurelio the outline is obviously the open source hardware logo. The inner pattern I'm not sure on, though.

Yeah, I just really don't like sparkfun. They make a lot of very overpriced stuff, IMO. It's less about the board and more about the fact it's from sparkfun, and the way they overcharge for pretty much everything.

>Sparkfun USB break out GMAN PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

looks like a general glob top and like the board could have been cut down a TON. If he wanted/needed to.

it's literally already there on PS2 I thought? Like, the only reason Gman did what he did is because he cut the chip off.... Pretty sure, might be wrong though.

Aren't you worried about the vinyl stretching and things being inaccurate? Maybe it doesn't matter and is my inner perfectionist coming out with that concern, but just a thought.

Compendium when? :P

No Q-tips needed, just dump the whole bottle on that thing :P

Sorry, I could have sworn that the previous page was the last one... Glad you got it fixed though :)

Yeah, the best tip here is to get a better soldering iron. Seriously, that should just be a fairly simple heat to un-bridge that. You can get decent irons for a not too bad price so I recommend that.

I'm guessing since "the board won't boot without them" ;) and since it's likely one of the few bidirectional communication lines, it was likely to be that. Either that or just trial and error. EDIT: or, even more efficiently, he took a component off, tested, if it still booted, rinse repeat...
