I’m planning to be there and hopefully catch some ESP8266 action.
I’ll also bring a SparkFun L6470 Stepper Driver Breakout that I mentioned to @Barnaby_Coote

Howdy, are you talking about this board:

It is a delicate job and doable with soldering iron and steady hand.

Ideally you would use an oven or hot air gun but there’s a simple trick to soldering that style of connector with an iron using flood fill and solder wick… i’ll bring some wick with me !

Thanks Daniel ! I have a dsp one on order I’ll tell you if it arrives in time. Otherwise I’d be glad to have one to tinker with and get my motor working.

Would someone be able to chuck my forgotten Thurs Electronics Evening - 28th July lock & lock box into the bigger Arduino box? I left it next to the monitor next to the Windows desktop. It looks like this:

Thanks for reading and thanks again for a lovely evening!
