Title: Slow Loris Help
Post by: PostPaintBoy on December 30, 2011, 02:13:59 AM
I'm building the Slow Loris in an enclosure with drilled holes that won't allow me to used board mounted pots or the toggle. My problem stems from this in that the holes on the board seem rather large to facilitate the pot wires. Any suggestions? Thanks.

22AWG should work fine if you have it. 24AWG will also work if you place it carefully. The solder will tend to surround and envelope the bare wire, even though the holes are large.

I solved this problem by tinning my wire and bending the end into a little loop so it held it's place in the hole so I could solder it in better. I'm not sure how well it would work with solid core wire if that's what you're using though.
