Hardware I have a question about installing V6 INSTINCT.

DawnWorkout · Mar 26, 2023

Hello
I have a question
Can I use it as a direct connection for each point without a help cable? All of the previous V3~V4.1 products were available like that, but I wonder if it's okay for V6 to do that.
Ironically, I had a harder time using the help cable..
I'm attaching a picture for easy understanding.
Also, please let me know if you have any precautions for V6 work.

Well, never used the V6, but if I follow my INSTINCT, I would say that you can solder directly the wires to the test points on the chip.
And if you want to be 100% sure, just connect the cable to the chip, use your multimeter to measure the resistance in continuity mode from the point A on the flex to the testpoint A on the chip, and so on.

Thank you very much for your reply.
The help cable was broken by me several times with my lack of soldering skills.
In the end, I had to unassemble and succeeded by connecting each point directly. Are you definitely recommending this cable connection?
If it works, I hope to connect directly.

I only connect it with wires (AWG36 and enamel wire). By using the flex there's probability to put extra mechanical stress to some (fragile) soldering points, like the CLK via, risking lifting it up and damaging the board.
