nick3092 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 If you want to save/resize that box, you can always run wires from the pins where the pads are missing to the next solder point on the trace. Just be careful not to short them out on any other pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am guessing should get some foam and copper shielding tape for bottom. I have it working now but does this look right? That looks okay for unshielded RF. When I saw the ribbon cable I wondered if ground was attached (the ground is also the shielding of the box, but I guess it's also connected to pin 1). But anyway, with the RF box floating free, you won't get the best image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChildOfCv Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 What do you mean about helping? The box needs to be grounded for best results. Those solder points aren't just for mechanical strength. Kapton tape is an insulator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
