Hacking Sx Core and Sx Lite , test Units Received

[Theorem]

Solder is not flowing - bad temperature, no flux or both.Use Flux, everything will be easier.

Hey people, I have a Weller WLC 100 soldering iron. What temperarture should I set it on?

 

[Theorem]

I use about 380 Celsius on my TS100 for all my SMD work.So anything like 350-380 should be fine but depends on solder quality - more lead means lower temperature needed.Apply flux and solder should flow. If you pretint anchor point, solder should quickly fill entire point. Thats the moment when the temperature is right.
I can see Weller WLC100 has no temperature display but maximum is probably 900 Fahrenheit=480 Celsius , so set it to 4/5

There are a program called Checkpoint I think, but i wouldn't recommend this until you make a copy with to EMUNAND

Meant checkpoint not gateway thats crashing, but figured it out using tinfoil for saves worked.

Anx chip (who became another site) has stopped trying to get anything to the US. If you have an order, contact them for a refund on Discord. Told me refunds should arrive within a week.

I asked for a refund (because of personal reasons) though their chat. They said they would refund me but I haven't received any email or document confirming it (like xecut**-sx.com did). I don't know if I should wait or insist a little more.

I ordered a Core Sunday night (Monday morning in China) and the tracking code shows that it's already in the US.

I've paid $30 for shipping.

Did you buy from AliExpress? my reseller shipped it via dhl but its going fron 4px to dhl and it hasn't left china yet or reached dhl but I have no doubt when it actually gets to DHL it'll get here pretty quick. However they don't want to ship anymore units to the US directly and are only accepting address outside of the US I don't want to ship my sx lite to canada and then to here as that's ridiculous so I'm looking for another place to buy from.

Have you tried sxflashcard.com? I have had some customers already receive them, ship to me for mod then shipped back to them.

No, I bought mine from TXSW1TCH. Actually, I was looking for any AliExpress seller that would accept Paypal, but none of them are accepting this payment type. Then someone has mentioned something about Txsw1tch a few pages back and as their website was showing "in stock" (it's showing 'out of stock' now =/ ), I give them a try. I just had to wait until 9 PM ( 9 AM in China), because they have to send you the instructions on how to send the money through Paypal.

So far, everything seems good. Shipping was fast. It's expected to arrive next Monday, but I believe it will arrive early (hopefully).

I have had 1 customer let me know they have got their Lite tracking # so I would say yes. Currently they are the fastest.

Had someone else also problems with unscrewing the back cover of their device? I have definitly the right screwdriver but damn some of them were so tight that I totally f*cked one of them up and had to drill a hole in it so that I can remove the head...

I emailed them because I was curious about my order and they gave me a tracking number for my SX core. It's still in Asia though.

You're paying more for the shipping than for the item
