Last month when I launched my Punisher on an I285 I lost contact with my Eggfinder Mini at lift off.
Upon inspection the diode by the battery connector along with the pad fell off.
I remember having difficulty with that component. I likely over heated the pad *doh*
The trace looks like it just goes to the left lead of the nearby voltage regulator. I’m thinking I can just use a through the hole diode and make the connection. The put some hot glue or something to hold it there. Sound like it could work?
I’m not sure what the specs are on the component, nor certain I’ll be able to find the specs on what I have on my box-o-components but I’m not thinking it’s very critical, and if it works when I test it it should be good enough.
