Hi kalkurap,
the fishing line "trick" did not work as well as intended, because I accidently touched the line with a soldering iron... Maybe I can still connect both ends by heating them.
I began using methacrylate glue when I was exclusively using leaded solder, which simply is not strong enough to withstand
any shear. In some occasions, 2 chips are at right angles to each other (4th picture up) and the glue turns chips + wiring into one solid unit which can be easily handled. The rx module is pretty sturdy.
Just finished the rear lights:
From L to R: rear light [red], reverse gear warning light [white], brake light [red], indicator light [orange]: 0402 LEDs, the white one looks greenish, I tried painting the others with a red indelible marker -- as you can see, this is not the ultimate solution. There is still white primer on the vehicle's rear.
Best regards,
Fred
