Update: I bought the proper crimper and I have to say I am a convert to the correct way to do this now. So much better, quicker, cleaner. [ Ссылка ]
Soldering some JST connectors for a project. I don't have the proper crimper, which may be silly, but is what it is. I started soldering small connectors like these after I had some crimped connectors fail when disconnecting multiple times. All it took was someone pulling from the wire and not the plastic holder for the wire to pull out. So I solder the wire on to the connector and haven't had a failure since. Often I am building for clients so I can't control who might be connecting and disconnecting my project components.
For the record, I am using a Hakko FX-888D soldering iron [ Ссылка ]
Lastly, this gave me a chance to try a two-camera set up. The top-down camera is a Canon EOS Rebel T6 with a 55mm lens [ Ссылка ]. The side view was captured on an iPhone SE. Audio was recorded on a Zoom H4N [ Ссылка ] using a Rode Lavalier mic. Audio was mixed in Adobe Audition CC and the video was compiled and edited in Adobe Premiere CC.
