Mega Drive v6 Bridging

[GarageFactory]

So basically since I am a really big noob I absolutely cannot bridge the pins from the megadrive board to the filters does anyone have any tips

Having the same problem. Probably the old flux I'm using.

Make sure your iron isn't too hot. If it's too hot all the solder will ball up on the tip. If it's a little cooler than normal bridging is much easier because it's not trying to ball up onto the iron as fast.

I have had the same issue, talked to mega and he suggested using an iron at around 440-470 Fahrenheit. Still not completely clear on the technique, if there is any. Maybe I'm overcomiplicating things

If all else fails, run wires between the megadrive and the filters.

Alright I will try again tomorrow Ill see what happens

I ran jumpers between the filters and the v6. Didn't take very long at all. Works great now! Just do it!

I take it that heating my iron to 700 wasn't a good idea.

I'm have no clue how bad that would be, Mega just said that around 430 is enough to melt the solder but keep it solid enough to bridge the connections. I just used wire between the Megadrive and the filters, nothing really worked for me to bridge the connections

Don't want to hijack the thread or anything but didn't want to start another wasp one. Just wanted to ask mega, I have my wasp wired and everything worked before, but now the led doesn't turn on at all and in the menu the GC says it can't read disk. Is the Wasp fried?

 

[megalomaniac]

based on the limited info provided, i say check your wires...
sounds like something came loose

Have you removed the SD card? If so, that's the problem. If not, check your connections (also check the SD slot FFC)

Okay thanks I'll check tomorrow. Just wanted to make sure before going ahead and buying another
EDIT: I do have a FAT32 SD card in, it was confirmed working but I had to tidy up wires and ended up removing some lol
