Aimtrak 5 pin connector
Donkbaca:
Maybe Andy can answer this.
I just got some aimtracks in the mail, and the new boards have a 5 pin connector instead of the solder points. Since I am new to soldering, I was wondering what kind of connector to use to connect to these pins, that way I can avoid soldering to the board.
Thanks!

WOW!
The new boards don't have to be soldered?
No more soldering for extra buttons?
That makes me want to go back and buy more.
Sure I got them connected but I fubbed up several
solder points on the board before getting 2 xtra.
Is This the new Standard? In other words if I ordered another
today is there a guarantee it will be a solder-less board?

Yes it will have the connector. The original intention was to support only the trigger and aux buttons which is why they are on the large connector, but I did mention the other solder points in the docs. The connector was not planned to be fitted until we have complete guns on sale but I brought this forward and we now fit it on all the modules.

I found the connectors from newark here in the states. 4 cents a piece. Now I just need to figure out how to connect the wires to them :)
