Hey All, I just finished soldering my eggtimer quasar that I'm going to use in my rockets. I looked at all of the connections and the all looked good so I'm surprised I am having issues.
When I plug in the battery in, the battery leads got super hot and started to burn. I luckily was able to pull it apart pretty quickly. I checked all of the joints again and reflowed all of the resistors. When i plugged a different a known good battery in it did the same thing. I was expecting it this time so it didn't get very hot.
I am hoping someone can look at my work and see if you see something I'm missing.
Part B of this, if I'm able to fix it do you think I'll be able to use this one or should i reach out to them and buy another one?
