(S'up nerds!)

Last time I attempted to remove this connector from the board with a soldering iron and solder wick I ripped the pads off which was pretty depressing...

This time, I used a hot air tool with liquid gel flux in a syringe and it seriously made desoldering this connector a breeze. Cleaned up very nicely with isopropyl alcohol and then removed old solder, cleaned up, new flux and new solder, and then I soldered on a wire harness for this GPS board stolen from the homebrew FPV industry. Cut the I2C as I'm using UART to the LilyGo T-Deck. Also put a little hot glue and magical NASA Kaptan (sp?) tape to keep the wires secure to the pads.
