The guys answering you are great...just follow their advice, and you can become a pro at soldering this stuff.
Here's what I did the first time though...decided to do the double stranded cat 5 mod, but the directions I found never said to only put ONE strand through the hole. Took me forever to figure out the hole wasn't big enough for TWO strands (hello).
After I got over the initial scare of that though, it gave me the confidence to fix my steering wire when it broke off the PCB.
Tips on this board are awesome!
