securing lose wires after hacking gamepad?
« on: July 01, 2005, 07:36:24 pm »
now that i have soldered all these wires onto the DC board, how do I secure them such that they dont come lose?  I *think* i've seen hot glue used?  Anyone have a picture of a good way to organize them?  Thanks

HarumaN seems to have it down pretty good.

Yes -- that's hot glue.  I use it as well, although my hacks are not as neat as HarumaN's.
